This book offers models, ideas and processes for personal transformation, educational transformation and organizational transformation in times of global crises. We live in a time of Metacrisis, an era in which several major crises occur at the same time. Times like these historically have offered opportunities for breakthrough and transformation. Our old leadership and educational models no longer work in this unpredictable and complex environment. What does work in times of turmoil is the ability to envision and enact new models, new systems and new forms of leadership. The contributions in this book provide leaders and change agents with a broad perspective on how transformation can take place across different domains as well as practical steps that can be implemented in various situations. It offers examples from different cultures, regions, and religions to help leaders quickly adapt and embrace whatever challenges that emerge. Taken together, the enclosed chapters provide a roadmap for a more positive future for all.
