A Thought of the Month from Partha S Ghosh Concord, Massachusetts
With continuous escalation of human unrest in different parts of the world, acceleration of ecological disequilibrium and erosion of human and economic values of large business organizations and government institutions, there is no doubt that we have reached a very critical point in human history.It only testifies the management and organization principles which have evolved over the last 200 years following the waves of industrial revolutions and application of militaristic "command and control" systems are not only working and they are not helping to cultivate leaders who could navigate through the challenges of modern times.Form the United Nations to White House, from GM to Sony, from World Bank to Wall Street we will need to repurpose our thinking with a new mindset, we need to develop the ability to throw light beyond our current line and scope of enquiry on areas which are dark, so that we could uncover new possibilities based on knowledge in areas yet unexplored, both within and external to our scope of beingAugust 2006 "
