WHAT IS HAPPENING IN SWEDEN IS ALSO
HAPPENING IN THE REST OF THE WESTERN WORLD?
We have a crisis in democracy and a crisis in leadership.
We need a new leadership paradigm.
A shift from “I” to “we,” a shift from “what’s in it for me” to
“what’s best for the common good,” and a shift from “being
the best in the world” to the “best for the world.”

AT THIS POINT IN OUR HUMAN HISTORY we are witnessing an
unprecedented shift in human values. Millions of people all over the
world are demanding their voices be heard, not just in how our nations
are governed, but also in how our organisations are run.
They want equality, fairness and transparency; they want to be
responsible and accountable for their lives; and, they want to be able to
trust their leaders.
They want to be have pride in their society, and they want their society
to support them in meeting their basic needs and their growth needs.

levels of cultural entropy have been measured in nations classified by the EIU as authoritarian regimes.
Conclusion: There is no relationship between level of democracy and cultural entropy.

WHAT CULTURAL ENTROPY ISN’T CONNECTED TO:
CULTURAL ENTROPY is not related to the level of democracy—UAE
and Bhutan (EIU Democracy Index).
CULTURAL ENTROPY is not related to the level of development
(UN Human Development Index).
CULTURAL ENTROPY is not related to size of country.
You can live in a full liberal democracy with an advanced level of development
in a small or large country and still experience high levels of cultural entropy.

WE NEED A NEW LEADERSHIP PARADIGM:
TO SURVIVE AND PROSPER in the twenty-first century we will need a
new leadership paradigm, one that embraces the global common good
rather than individual self-interest.
THE NEW LEADERSHIP PARADIGM will require our leaders to set aside
their narrow political and personal self-interests and embrace a
collaborative approach based on values-driven decision-making that
supports the well-being of everyone; not just the elites and privileged
members of our society, but the poor, the elderly, the disenfranchised and
the disadvantaged.

WE NEED A NEW SET OF LEADERS …
WHO ARE NOT ONLY FOCUSED on their own personal evolution but
also support the evolution of consciousness of the citizens who make up
our society—supporting citizens in their individuation and self-
actualization.
WE WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO DO THIS THROUGH
THE PRACTICE OF MINDFULNESS.

DEMOCRACY IS IN DEEP TROUBLE IN THE WESTERN WORLD BECAUSE
IT HAS NOT YET FOUND A WAY TO MANAGE THE SHIFT THAT IS
OCCURRING IN HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS:
THE INDIVIDUATION AND SELF-ACTUALIZATION OF THE MASSES
WE WILL ONLY BE SUCCESSFUL IF WE CAN SHIFT FROM OPERATING
AS MULTIPLE INDIVIDUATED “I’S” FOCUSED ON OUR OWN SELF-
INTEREST TO MULTIPLE SELF-ACTUALIZED “I’S” EMBEDDED IN A
SINGLE SOCIETAL “WE,” ALL WORKING FOR THE COMMON GOOD.
MINDFULNESS CAN FACILITATE THIS SHIFT
From mass Individuation to mass Self-Actualization
