We are in the midst of a metamorphic period that's unlike anything the world has seen since the Late Middle Ages. There is a transformative change in the form of the human institutions now emerging as we awaken to the realities of climate change and the destruction of ecosystems we rely on for our survival. As 📝Peter Drucker said, "In times of turmoil, the danger lies not in the turmoil but in facing it with yesterday's logic."
Nowhere is this change more evident than in the way of businesses are being organized and managed. The ideal of "organization-as-machine" was dominant for hundreds of years into the late 20th century and is now giving way to an ideal of "organization-as-📝Living System."
Our modern scientific lens now allows us to recognize what ancient wisdom traditions the world over have long perceived: that life is an inter-relational network of inter-being, where everything is in dynamic relation with its environment, continuously communicating and collaborating within an 📝Ocean of Being.
In this perceptual field, the "📝self" is not the "📝separate self" of individualism but the "differentiating self" immersed within a rich milieu of relations. As 📝Leonardo Da Vinci said, "Learn how to see. Realize everything connects with everything else." See the true 📝Self.
