Why would anyone follow
somebody else?
People would follow a leader if they
believed that he/she leads them towards
better future than the one they can
achieve on their own.
Any person that does exactly that has the
chance of becoming a leader.

DEVELOPMENT
What triggers us to open up to a later,
more complex stage of consciousness?
Always a major life challenge that cannot be resolved
from the current worldview. We have two options:
• To grow into a more complex perspective that offers
a solution to our problem, or
• To try to ignore the problem, clinging more strongly
to an existing or even an earlier world-view.

Leadership Today
• Today, no leader can do it alone. We need to use the
efforts of everybody to achieve best results.
• Everybody needs to learn to lead and follow.
• To do that, we need simple rules, shared values,
transparency and everybody’s full engagement.
• The success and flourishing of any organization
(nation) depends on the average leadership
capabilities of everybody, not just the leaders alone.

Leaders Today Need
• High Level of Physical, Emotional, Mental,
Spiritual Intelligence
• High Level of Systems Intelligence which is
about mastering systems thinking- a holistic
approach that focuses on the way that a
system's parts interrelate and how systems work
over time and within the context of larger systems.
It is about understanding that we and
organizations are all living systems, processes are
circular rather than linear.
