Today, we lack the governing structures and leaders required to solve the urgent problems confronting humanity and the planet. International agencies are manipulated by national interests and fail to represent the needs of large sections of the world’s population. The quality of leadership continues to decline, facilitating the spread of corruption, neglect, and social fragmentation. Without accountable and ethical governance systems, and competent, moral leaders, the chances that we will be able to overcome these challenges are slim.
This session will propose new systems of global governance and leadership that are critical for society’s survival and advancement. It will present ideas about how a fully-functioning world government would operate and how a world constitution could be framed for a 21st century world. Changes in our perception and development of leaders will be discussed as well as the need for new “meta-leaders” to oversee the progress of society. The latest leadership development methods will be showcased as part of an effort to formulate training protocols for these new leadership models.
