GOVERNANCE AND GUARDIANSHIP

LEADERSHIP CO-INTELLIGENCE AND CONSENSUS

RESPONSIBLE CITIZENSHIP

STANDARDS OF LEADERSHIP—SECULAR & SACRED: An unconscious or careless populace gets what’s coming to it. For a new culture to survive and properly discharge its sacred obligation to the living planet, its originators must implement an effective method of ensuring that each generation of leadership and citizenship fulfils its mandate without corruption, for the duration or ‘designed lifetime’ of the culture. Compassion, conscience, common sense, essential integrity, humility, strength, stamina, intuition, intelligence, vision, reason, righteousness, wisdom and real will, are some of the necessary attributes found within the core models and leadership of successful and enduring human societies.
