I really enjoyed this podcast episode. So many words of wisdom from Margaret Wheatley. http://www.human-current.com/episode-090-reclaiming-leadership-for-the-human-spirit-with-margaret-wheatley My main takeaways: - She points out that what we are going through now is something that every previous civilization has gone through. It’s not that we took a wrong turn somewhere. We should let go of the angst of trying to change the trajectory. Rather, we focus on who we choose to be in this moment of collapse. - She sees meditation as a core practice for leaders, because it is the only thing she has ever found that can train people to be aware of their negative emotions and be non-reactive to them. - She sees complexity and systems thinking as the closest equivalents to spirituality that natural science can offer. - She uses despair to drive her optimism.
