  • Leading from the Emerging Future: A Conversation with MIT's Dr. Otto Scharmer

    Leading from the Emerging Future: A Conversation with MIT's Dr. Otto Scharmer
    Jun 9 2014
    It's no secret that our world today is full of dire crises ranging from ecological to societal. We've built a world with the mindset of maximizing me, creating catastrophic results that benefit no one. But what to do? As Albert Einstein observed, We cannot solve problems with the same kind of thinking that created them. If we want to change the way the world works, we need to update the thinking that created the systems, institutions and economies around us. Otto Scharmer has developed a framework and strategies for guiding this shift in our thinking from an ego-centric awareness to an eco-centric one -- from considering what's best for me to considering what's best for the whole, including me. Tune in to find out why embracing this shift is at the core of the leadership the world needs.
