19. Resonant vs. dissonant Leadership
Dissonant leaders tend to operate more
on the authoritative side of leadership.
Resonant leaders have a greater ability
to connect personally with followers.
Sociological perspective
20. • Are you Resonant?
• Can you answer yes to these 4 questions?
1. Do you inspire others?
2. Have you created a positive work environment?
3. Do you demonstrate compassion for yourself
and others?
4. Do you understand yourself, others and the
broader environment?
Sociological perspective
22. • We need society learn to how to learn
• We need society learn how to use the most
important things in life given by mother nature
our own “tools”:
– Learning about social and emotional intelligence
– Learning process by knowing how we use our brains
– And what the importance is of physical care
– And most important we need to learn society is in a
learning process
• We need to support all of above by technology
Sociological perspective
23. • In the future educational systems need to focus
on the process of learning and on the products of
learning
• Ministry of Education, Culture and Science in the
Netherlands
– New Ambition Science: more connection with society
and business
– Our society is changing rapidly. How do we ensure
that a child who goes to school, well prepared for the
society and the labor market in 2032?

24. Sociological perspective
• Green = language level reader
• Red = level language text
http://www.klinkendetaal.nl/europese-
taalniveaus
25. Why do we like to write on C1/C2 language level?
• Preferred level
– You talk/think on C1/C2 level and you are not used to making abstractions
concrete
• Status
– Reduce uncertainty
Hide behind words to cover up that you do not understand everything
• Incompetence
– Compromise
Bridge the unbridgeable by using abstractions and ambiguous language
• No urgency for using level B1
– No lives depend on (mis)understanding each another?
“If you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough.” - Albert
Einstein
Sociological perspective
27. Sociological conclusion
• Technology is not about technology,
technology is about connecting people, and
people who design, build and maintain
technology have to know more about building
trust in ourselfs, relationship trust and
organisational, market and social trust. And
we need learning to use our human“tools”
which are given us by mother nature for the
process of learning
28. Case

34. • An important recent report from the EIF has shown that local and
national government in England and Wales is spending annually
nearly £17 billion on picking up the pieces from damaging social
issues affecting young people, such as child abuse and neglect,
unemployment and youth crime. This £17 billion is spent only on
the short-run direct fiscal cost of acute, statutory and essential
services and benefits that are required when children and young
people experience severe difficulties in life, such as child abuse and
neglect, unemployment and youth crime. It does not capture the
longer-term impact or the wider social and economic costs. There
are also inter-generational consequences of these outcomes and of
the issues that underpin them. This means that the £17 billion is
only a small part of the costs of failure to achieve successful
transitions to adulthood.

My vision to learning
38. • To overcome economic crisis we need diversity
between scientists of economist, sociologist,
historian, psychologist (IQ EQ science), and listen
to each other and collaborate with each other.
• The economist-sociologist ratio is 20-to-1
– Sociology unfound: Contextualizing the dominance of
economist mentions in the New York Times.
• Learn from TBI
– Learn from his juridical institutional organizational
form in society in the Netherlands
My vision to learning
39. • TBI sees sustainable business as the basis for
the future. This is based on three beliefs:
– The world is changing fast: changing market demands, the new reality
is a change from volume growth to sustainable progress with new
comprehensive and sustainable solutions.
– It is a source of inspiration for innovation: it helps us to save on the
fees and otherwise against existing activities to watch.
– It suits TBI, its group structure it is focused on the long term and is
traditionally a socially oriented company that invests a lot in its
employees and their children.
