A radical new approach to transformational leadership, one that creates systems of change where everyone can engage not just analysts and policy makers. Demonstrating that we all can be architects of a new humanity, Sharma demystifies policy-making, planning and implementation so that everyone can play an informed and strategic part in eradicating the world's most intractable problems. Using real life examples from around the world, she shows how our innate characteristics of universal compassion, equity impulse and human capability can create new patterns that effectively address major challenges such as gross inequality, unbridled hate, conflicts based on social identity and the never-enough mind-set of greed. Written in a straight-forward, accessible style, this book outlines a path-breaking paradigm shift that is already generating equitable and sustainable results across the globe.
