Teaching the City of God in the City of Man

Teaching the City of God in the City of Man

Teaching the City of God in the City of Man

by Patricia Hershwitzky, Ed.S.

Whether used by a home school parent, a classroom teacher, or graduate level Catholic educator, Teaching the City of God in the City of Man is designed as a sectional primer to serve all Catholics who strive to impart salvation education to all students. From Aristotle to Aquinas to Augustine, to all the Early Church Fathers, the multitudes of prolific Saints, and simply wise witnesses over the centuries, this tome upholds objective truth, natural law, Divine Revelation and Will, the very cornerstones that built the model of Christendom.  That evil has at times eroded the ground underneath has never touched the Rock itself. Moreover, there are great signs of renewal, and this work serves to complement those tremendous efforts. It is the goal of Teaching the City of Cod in the City of Man to provide fresh facets in approaches, curriculum and instruction, and resources to complement the wonderful work already begun in the Classical education movement, teacher credential programs, and even Archdiocesan offerings. Even faithful Catholic teachers currently in the quagmire of public education can benefit.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Patricia Hershwitzky, Ed.S., is the author of two books:  The Third Millennium Woman, CMJ Catholic Books and West Las Vegas, Arcadia Publications; past magazine articles in Hearts Aflame Magazine, Canticle, Hearth, and Crisis; and numerous published communications

Preceded by a childhood as an Army dependent who traveled the world and during some of its worst post World War II crises, the author of Teaching the City of God in the City of Man brings a varied and sometimes conflicting background that spans over fifty years in political science, journalism-writing, and education.  Her journey has taken her from being a Young Democrat in San Francisco’s Moscone-Milk-Feinstein era to campaigning for conservative candidates in several states on both coasts.  While her  initial career was initiated by working for a tourist magazine and then as a public relations and advertising account executive,  disillusionment with the world, turned her back to the one, holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church and an entry into education.  Yet, even in the late 1980’s that field was already being contaminated by agnostic, at best, influences that nearly derailed her credential program.

It was also a period of realization that Catholic schools, while employing good hearted and capable teachers, were being misdirected and unduly affected by unChristian concepts.  Following ten years in Catholic schools in California and Maryland, the author ventured into the public system for twelve years, candidly necessitated by economic factors but also in the hopes of being a Catholic presence albeit subtly.  Even more startling realities about the state of education, overall awaited her.  In twelve years, despite numerous endeavors and community interaction, some in leadership roles, the author concluded that American culture had so far deteriorated that nothing short of an almost miraculous intervention would alter the downward trajectory.   

Afterwards, re-entering Catholic schooling as a principal, she experienced a deep fissure in attitude towards both the Faith and its role in education among parents and teachers.  Within one generation, the situation had grown more perilous.  Even some well intentioned, good hearted educators seemed more intent on accommodating parents— “consumer satisfaction” dilemma —and appearing democratic than contemplating students’ souls and the Kingdom of God.  

It would be the culmination of a life that had went down a wrong path for well over a decade, followed by the rediscovery of Catholic identity, and then sorrow and stark dread of so many lost people that compelled the author to first envision better texts. Ultimately, an entirely different approach to preparing Catholic educators became the mission as so many, through no fault of their own,  had been descendants of diluted teaching for several generations.  Yet, it had to be an enterprise that had its footing in the world but its head directed by Heaven.

Thus ultimately arose Teaching the City of God in The City of Man.

EDITED BY ROSEMARY VANDER WEELE, M.A.

Rosemary has been a well-respected educator leader in the Denver area for many years, most notably for her confident initiative in renewing Classical Catholic education formation. Under her diligent direction at Our Lady of Lourdes, student growth and increased enrollment led to the addition of a South Campus in 2018.  Rosemary earned a B.A. degree in English literature from Franciscan University of Steubenville and later an M.A. in theology from The Augustine Institute and an M.A. in School Administration from Regis University. She loves serving the Lord in the mission of Catholic education but also cherishes her home life with her husband and children.

COVER ART BY STEVEN MEZZACAPPA

Steven Mezzacappa, principal of Mezzart in Las Vegas, Nevada, has received national acclaim for his many works of art, sculpture, and photography.  An art instructor at an urban school for seventeen years, he also has received praise for his encouragement of students in that field.

Conscience and Power: The Contest for Civilization in the West

Conscience and Power: The Contest for Civilization in the West

Conscience and Power: The Contest for Civilization in the West

by Dr. Richard Bishirjian

Conscience and Power examines how civilization in “the West” arose after the fall of the Roman Empire and has grappled ever after with a desire of citizens of nations of Western civilization for justice and the necessities of political order. This contest between Western man’s sense of justice and the rule of nation states has had consequences for democracy in America and in the centers of Western Europe. What we in the West inherited from ancient Israel, the ancient Greeks and Romans and an enduring Christendom formed during the Middle Ages is no longer central to the lives of citizens of Western nation states. Because the death of everything living is preceded by a natural process of birth, growth and senescence, death is an end point for all “being things.” Conscience and Power asks, therefore, how much longer can democracies in the West live before they, too, meet their end?

Clerical Sexual Misconduct, Vol. 2: A Foundational Conversation

Clerical Sexual Misconduct, Vol. 2: A Foundational Conversation

Clerical Sexual Misconduct, Vol 2: A Foundational Conversation

Editors — Jane F. Adolphe and Robert L. Fastiggi

The abuse, harassment, or devaluation of women, in any form by Catholic priests and bishops, raises concerns about:

  1. whether clerics have a healthy understanding of their own inherent dignity as male persons and spiritual fathers;
  2. whether clerics have a healthy understanding of the inherent dignity of women as female persons and spiritual mothers; and
  3. whether seminary formation is adequately preparing future priests to interact with women in a healthy, mature, and holy manner.

This volume commences a foundational conversation about certain deficiencies in light of God’s plan for men and women, redeemed by His grace. The essays examine the scriptural, theological, anthropological, and psychological dimensions of the Catholic view of men and women and related issues.

Understanding that the Church has norms and practices in place to protect girls and women from clerical sexual abuse, this volume offers an opportunity to deepen the conversation about remaining psychological, spiritual, and theological matters.

Like the first volume, Clerical Sexual Misconduct: An Interdisciplinary Analysis, this second volume, subtitled A Foundational Conversation, is an answer to the call of Pope Francis for assistance from members of the faithful engaged in higher learning to serve the Church through study of the culture of abuse in its midst.

Paperback: $29.95 | Kindle: $9.99


TESTIMONIALS

“What is truly remarkable about this book is the breadth and depth of the analysis of the entire sex abuse crisis from men and women possessed of deep Catholic identity and firmly committed to authentic Catholic renewal.” -Jeffrey Mirus, CatholicCulture.org

This book “belongs on the shelf of every chancery, seminary library and rectory.” It “examines the causes of the crisis, both inside and outside the Catholic Church, such as the role that cultural Marxism has played in undermining the family and sexual morality; the impact of the now-debunked Kinsey reports on human sexuality; and the pernicious theories of Wilhelm Reich that undergirded the sexual revolution of the 1960s…. While comprehensive and packed with scholarly footnotes, Clerical Sexual Misconduct offers an engrossing read, accessible to anyone who cares about cleansing the scourge of clerical sexual abuse from the church and in preventing its resurgence.”-Deborah Gyapong, Catholic News Service

“Over the last decade I have read several books on the subject, often written by disgruntled Catholics or liberals who loathe the Church and who exploit this very real issue to further their own agenda. What I felt was required was an in-depth analysis in order to bring about an authentic Catholic renewal. I believe that this is the book that was needed…. In summary, this is by far the best book on the subject.” -Dr. Pravin Thevathasan, Catholic Medical Quarterly

This book “is valued not only because of its scholarship, but also for the commitment to Catholic orthodoxy of its contributors, who realize that any remedies must be faithful to the liberating truths Jesus has revealed to his Church in particular and to mankind in general…. Clerical Sexual Misconduct serves as a reference work to understand better the key factors that enabled the scandal to develop over time, and also proposes measures to ensure it never happens again.” -Thomas J. Nash, The Catholic World Report

Liderazgo: Un camino hacia la paz mundial – Vol. 1 Cómo construimos nuestra grandeza y liderazgo impactando en la economía política y en la toma de decisiones

por Juan Pablo Stegmann, Ph.D.

Muchas personas aspiran a convertirse en líderes. Sin embargo, ¿cómo se construye un liderazgo con grandeza, que pueda impactar positivamente en nuestras vidas y en la sociedad, que nos haga felices, que transforme la economía política y el mundo de las organizaciones? Esta serie nos invita a un recorrido para construir un liderazgo de este tipo. Es el resultado de un sólido esfuerzo de investigación, apoyado en más de 800 fuentes bibliográficas y análisis estadísticos.

Este primer volumen resume los tres siguientes, que tratan sobre: cómo construir grandeza y liderazgo (volumen 2), cómo transformar la economía política, promoviendo el crecimiento económico, la justicia, la integración y la armonía social (volumen 3), y cómo transformar la toma de decisiones, la gestión estratégica, la ética empresarial y la responsabilidad social corporativa, para promover el éxito organizacional y el bienestar social (volumen 4), que conducen a la paz mundial.

SOBRE EL AUTOR

Al cumplir 40 años, el Dr. Juan Pablo Stegmann decidió dedicar su vida a profundizar en la comprensión del impacto de la espiritualidad en la vida de las personas, especialmente las vulnerables y que sufren. Esto requirió un amplio estudio e investigación que le proporcionara sólidos fundamentos interdisciplinarios, lo que lo llevó a completar tres doctorados, tres maestrías y tres postgrados en economía, administración de negocios internacionales, finanzas, filosofía/ética, ingeniería y espiritualidad, en Estados Unidos, Europa y América Latina. Es autor de varios libros y artículos publicados en Estados Unidos y en el extranjero. Imparte cursos de postgrado y licenciatura y ha recibido importantes honores académicos. Anteriormente, ocupó puestos de responsabilidad en gran parte de las áreas de empresas multinacionales líderes y trabajó con prestigiosas consultoras globales. Ha participado en diversos servicios comunitarios y actividades de voluntariado.

TESTIMONIOS

TESTIMONIO POR PETER REDPATH

Aunque, por naturaleza, en algún aspecto, todos los seres humanos psicológicamente sanos desean convertirse en líderes en alguna actividad organizativa en esta vida, especialmente desconcertantes de responder son las preguntas: (1) ¿Por qué, por naturaleza, lo hacemos sobre todo? (2) ¿Cuál es la naturaleza del liderazgo en general y del liderazgo con grandeza en particular? y (3) ¿Cómo se llega a ser un gran líder?

Lo más desconcertante para algunos lectores relacionados con la obra para la que felizmente escribo este testimonio podría ser la idea central del trabajo magistral en 4 volúmenes de Juan Pablo Stegmann que intenta responder exhaustivamente a estas preguntas. Como él mismo afirma hacia el comienzo del Volumen 1: “La idea central del libro es cómo la espiritualidad construye grandeza y liderazgo, cómo éstos mejoran la realidad personal y social, creando una cultura de liderazgo, mejorando la economía política y la gestión de las organizaciones.”

En nuestra cultura política y empresarial global, cínica y contemporánea, oímos a menudo la ocurrencia de mal gusto: “La ética empresarial es una tontería”.  A pesar del hecho de que todo liderazgo humano es una actividad psicológica (actividad del alma humana) esta misma cultura política y empresarial global probablemente se inclinaría a burlarse como un sinsentido y evidentemente tonta de la afirmación de que la espiritualidad construye grandeza y liderazgo. Todo el Nuevo Orden Mundial parece empeñado en convencer a todos los que piensan así de la verdad de lo contrario: que la espiritualidad impide el liderazgo y destruye las culturas.

Juan Pablo Stegmann no es tonto. Tampoco es alguien que no esté familiarizado con las empresas y con cómo formar líderes. Posee una amplia formación académica y empresarial internacional que incluye tres doctorados, tres maestrías, una licenciatura y tres estudios de posgrado en economía, finanzas y estrategia empresarial.

Ha ocupado altos cargos directivos en casi todos los ámbitos de la organización empresarial nacional e internacional. Entre ellos, dirección general, banca de inversión y comercial, finanzas y gestión estratégica y del conocimiento en empresas multinacionales líderes como Citibank, Bank of America, N.M. Rothschild (Reino Unido) y Telefónica. También ha trabajado con importantes consultoras, como McKinsey, Boston Consulting, A. T. Kearney y Booz Allen, entre otras.

Ha publicado varios libros antes de la presente obra en varios volúmenes y ha impartido una amplia gama de cursos de posgrado y de licenciatura en gestión, gestión estratégica, gestión empresarial integrada, iniciativa empresarial, teoría y comportamiento organizativos, fundamentos de la empresa, empresa internacional, comunicaciones interculturales, entorno cultural, empresa global, consultoría empresarial, ética empresarial, economía, economía internacional, gestión financiera, gestión de recursos estratégicos y métodos cuantitativos.

Me siento muy honrado de que me considere uno de sus mentores. A este respecto, me complace especialmente observar cómo, con alguna pequeña ayuda de mi investigación, ha dominado la comprensión de que la virtud moral de la prudencia (que crea en niños y estudiantes el hábito moral de la docilitas [¡enseñabilidad!]) es una especie de sentido común poco común que subyace a todo desarrollo cultural y organizativo. 

Es evidente para cualquier ser psicológicamente sano que, en ausencia de la virtud moral y práctica de la prudencia intelectual, ningún individuo, organización o cultura humanos sanos pueden desarrollar jamás un sentido común habitual, y mucho menos el nivel de sentido común habitual necesario para crecer y prosperar a largo plazo.

Le animo a que compre los 4 volúmenes y a que hable a otros de ellos para que tanto usted como ellos puedan subirse a los hombros de un verdadero gigante de la organización y aprender a aplicar estas sencillas verdades a diario para mejorar todos los aspectos de su vida cotidiana y la del resto de nosotros.

TESTIMONIO POR LEIF EDVINSSON

El trabajo presentado y empaquetado en los impresionantes tres volúmenes tiene contribuciones significativas al pensamiento del Liderazgo. Es muy oportuna y acertada, ya que nos encontramos en una agitada/tormentosa época de navegación del conocimiento. 

El título de la obra, “Un camino hacia la paz mundial”, introduce un proceso de renovación continua hacia un futuro mejor, dos dimensiones del Capital Intelectual (CI). Los subtítulos de los tres libros, creando liderazgo para transformar la economía política y las organizaciones, refuerzan la conexión con las dimensiones de proceso y renovación del CI. El volumen 2 se centra en el papel crucial de la espiritualidad en la promoción de la inspiración y la creación para el éxito de la sociedad, haciendo hincapié en la dimensión de renovación del CI. El primer capítulo se centra en la creación de conocimiento y relaciones, las otras dos dimensiones del CI. Los capítulos siguientes explican el impacto de la creación de conocimiento, la generación de una visión de futuro, la construcción de valores superiores, la creación de una cultura de Liderazgo y la promoción de un proceso continuo de transformación individual y social. El Volumen 2 concluye que la espiritualidad promueve la grandeza y el Liderazgo, introduciendo una comprensión del Liderazgo como un proceso de renovación continua con una orientación social. Los volúmenes 3 y 4 investigan cómo nuestra grandeza y Liderazgo enriquecen el CI de las naciones y organizaciones, promoviendo el bienestar social. 

El Liderazgo es una tarea desafiante, amplificada por la geopolítica global y el núcleo de la navegación tridimensional del conocimiento. La economía política es más que nunca muy dinámica. Parte de ello podría manejarse aprendiendo los mapas del ciclo vital del difunto profesor Jay Forrester del MIT. Pero también integrando hacia adelante las aportaciones de la Física Cuántica y las Ciencias de la Vida, por ejemplo, la investigación genética. Este cultivo podría ofrecer perspectivas de ciencias de la vida a los viejos paradigmas de Liderazgo, ya que amplificará las dimensiones de RENOVACIÓN continua más allá del paradigma económico del crecimiento, a menudo unidimensional. 

Esta navegación podría ser mucho más compleja y requerir un liderazgo, como ya se ha dicho, de tres dimensiones.  Pero también una renovación de la agenda del Liderazgo, en sí mismo. Un Liderazgo de flujo más que de stock. Algunas dimensiones centrales del Liderazgo todavía están relacionadas con la geofísica de la teoría de la Longitud. En consecuencia, la navegación del Liderazgo tiene que ver con la posición, la dirección y la velocidad. Un Liderazgo armonizador mediante modernas herramientas GPS.

Quizás necesitemos innovar y actualizar la nueva Agencia Institucional para la navegación del Bienestar Social. La Agencia para este nuevo Liderazgo podría operar con una brújula mucho más refinada. Las métricas centrales estarán en las dimensiones ecológicas y el flujo del bienestar más allá del pensamiento a granel. 

Como el prof. Johan Rockström, del Instituto Medioambiental de Potsdam, defiende que necesitamos iniciar el empuje como una alianza global de conocimiento para iniciar, prototipar y cultivar el nuevo curso de navegación para las generaciones futuras después de la Era de la Economía Industrial. 

Un paradigma creciente y dinámico de Ciencias de la Vida presenta un papel de Liderazgo mucho más integrado con el conocimiento multitalento. La dinámica en una nueva agencia ágil de una construcción global en red se caracteriza más por los intangibles, los activos blandos y el flujo vívido, cercano a una DAO (Organización Autónoma Descentralizada). 

El prototipo de esta nueva agencia podría crearse en un laboratorio interdisciplinar como el que creamos en el Skandia Future Center de Suecia. Se podría considerar la creación de una nueva escuela de navegación y un programa de formación para iniciar el aprendizaje y la creación de prototipos.

La creciente oportunidad está esperando nuestras nuevas iniciativas y las suyas.

Liderazgo: Un camino hacia la paz mundial – Vol. 2 La espiritualidad construye felicidad, grandeza y liderazgo

Liderazgo: Un camino hacia la paz mundial – Vol. 2 La espiritualidad construye felicidad, grandeza y liderazgo

por Juan Pablo Stegmann, Ph.D.

Este libro da inicio a la serie «Liderazgo: un camino hacia la paz mundial», que muestra cómo la espiritualidad es una parte esencial de la vida y la felicidad de una persona, y desempeña un rol fundamental en el funcionamiento de la sociedad, la cultura, la economía política y la gestión de las organizaciones.

En este volumen se nos invita a descubrir la espiritualidad, a fortalecerla e incorporarla como parte consciente de la vida, para poder vivirla positivamente, resolviendo sus complejidades y desafíos.

La espiritualidad nos ayuda a construir conocimiento, a descubrir belleza, bondad, verdad y valores superiores; a descubrir la presencia de Dios en nuestras vidas, a construir nuestra relación con Él; a construir relaciones basadas en valores y en el amor; a construir discernimiento; a encontrar el sentido de nuestras vidas, que nos ayuda a enfrentar el sufrimiento y nos inspira y energiza para transformar la realidad; la espiritualidad nos sana, nos impulsa a emprender acciones sociales, promueve el cambio social.

Este libro introduce una nueva agenda. Promueve el surgimiento de un mundo diferente en el que la espiritualidad, la grandeza y el liderazgo resuelven problemas que hoy parecen irresolubles. Esta obra es el resultado de un sólido trabajo de investigación, apoyado en más de 800 fuentes bibliográficas y análisis estadísticos.

Libro en Rústica: $9.99 | Kindle $9.99

SOBRE EL AUTOR

Al cumplir 40 años, el Dr. Juan Pablo Stegmann decidió dedicar su vida a profundizar en la comprensión del impacto de la espiritualidad en la vida de las personas, especialmente las vulnerables y que sufren. Esto requirió un amplio estudio e investigación que le proporcionara sólidos fundamentos interdisciplinarios, lo que lo llevó a completar tres doctorados, tres maestrías y tres postgrados en economía, administración de negocios internacionales, finanzas, filosofía/ética, ingeniería y espiritualidad, en Estados Unidos, Europa y América Latina. Es autor de varios libros y artículos publicados en Estados Unidos y en el extranjero. Imparte cursos de postgrado y licenciatura y ha recibido importantes honores académicos. Anteriormente, ocupó puestos de responsabilidad en gran parte de las áreas de empresas multinacionales líderes y trabajó con prestigiosas consultoras globales. Ha participado en diversos servicios comunitarios y actividades de voluntariado.

TESTIMONIOS

TBA

TESTIMONIO POR PETER REDPATH

Aunque, por naturaleza, en algún aspecto, todos los seres humanos psicológicamente sanos desean convertirse en líderes en alguna actividad organizativa en esta vida, especialmente desconcertantes de responder son las preguntas: (1) ¿Por qué, por naturaleza, lo hacemos sobre todo? (2) ¿Cuál es la naturaleza del liderazgo en general y del liderazgo con grandeza en particular? y (3) ¿Cómo se llega a ser un gran líder?

Lo más desconcertante para algunos lectores relacionados con la obra para la que felizmente escribo este testimonio podría ser la idea central del trabajo magistral en 4 volúmenes de Juan Pablo Stegmann que intenta responder exhaustivamente a estas preguntas. Como él mismo afirma hacia el comienzo del Volumen 1: “La idea central del libro es cómo la espiritualidad construye grandeza y liderazgo, cómo éstos mejoran la realidad personal y social, creando una cultura de liderazgo, mejorando la economía política y la gestión de las organizaciones.”

En nuestra cultura política y empresarial global, cínica y contemporánea, oímos a menudo la ocurrencia de mal gusto: “La ética empresarial es una tontería”.  A pesar del hecho de que todo liderazgo humano es una actividad psicológica (actividad del alma humana) esta misma cultura política y empresarial global probablemente se inclinaría a burlarse como un sinsentido y evidentemente tonta de la afirmación de que la espiritualidad construye grandeza y liderazgo. Todo el Nuevo Orden Mundial parece empeñado en convencer a todos los que piensan así de la verdad de lo contrario: que la espiritualidad impide el liderazgo y destruye las culturas.

Juan Pablo Stegmann no es tonto. Tampoco es alguien que no esté familiarizado con las empresas y con cómo formar líderes. Posee una amplia formación académica y empresarial internacional que incluye tres doctorados, tres maestrías, una licenciatura y tres estudios de posgrado en economía, finanzas y estrategia empresarial.

Ha ocupado altos cargos directivos en casi todos los ámbitos de la organización empresarial nacional e internacional. Entre ellos, dirección general, banca de inversión y comercial, finanzas y gestión estratégica y del conocimiento en empresas multinacionales líderes como Citibank, Bank of America, N.M. Rothschild (Reino Unido) y Telefónica. También ha trabajado con importantes consultoras, como McKinsey, Boston Consulting, A. T. Kearney y Booz Allen, entre otras.

Ha publicado varios libros antes de la presente obra en varios volúmenes y ha impartido una amplia gama de cursos de posgrado y de licenciatura en gestión, gestión estratégica, gestión empresarial integrada, iniciativa empresarial, teoría y comportamiento organizativos, fundamentos de la empresa, empresa internacional, comunicaciones interculturales, entorno cultural, empresa global, consultoría empresarial, ética empresarial, economía, economía internacional, gestión financiera, gestión de recursos estratégicos y métodos cuantitativos.

Me siento muy honrado de que me considere uno de sus mentores. A este respecto, me complace especialmente observar cómo, con alguna pequeña ayuda de mi investigación, ha dominado la comprensión de que la virtud moral de la prudencia (que crea en niños y estudiantes el hábito moral de la docilitas [¡enseñabilidad!]) es una especie de sentido común poco común que subyace a todo desarrollo cultural y organizativo. 

Es evidente para cualquier ser psicológicamente sano que, en ausencia de la virtud moral y práctica de la prudencia intelectual, ningún individuo, organización o cultura humanos sanos pueden desarrollar jamás un sentido común habitual, y mucho menos el nivel de sentido común habitual necesario para crecer y prosperar a largo plazo.

Le animo a que compre los 4 volúmenes y a que hable a otros de ellos para que tanto usted como ellos puedan subirse a los hombros de un verdadero gigante de la organización y aprender a aplicar estas sencillas verdades a diario para mejorar todos los aspectos de su vida cotidiana y la del resto de nosotros.

TESTIMONIO POR LEIF EDVINSSON

El trabajo presentado y empaquetado en los impresionantes tres volúmenes tiene contribuciones significativas al pensamiento del Liderazgo. Es muy oportuna y acertada, ya que nos encontramos en una agitada/tormentosa época de navegación del conocimiento. 

El título de la obra, “Un camino hacia la paz mundial”, introduce un proceso de renovación continua hacia un futuro mejor, dos dimensiones del Capital Intelectual (CI). Los subtítulos de los tres libros, creando liderazgo para transformar la economía política y las organizaciones, refuerzan la conexión con las dimensiones de proceso y renovación del CI. El volumen 2 se centra en el papel crucial de la espiritualidad en la promoción de la inspiración y la creación para el éxito de la sociedad, haciendo hincapié en la dimensión de renovación del CI. El primer capítulo se centra en la creación de conocimiento y relaciones, las otras dos dimensiones del CI. Los capítulos siguientes explican el impacto de la creación de conocimiento, la generación de una visión de futuro, la construcción de valores superiores, la creación de una cultura de Liderazgo y la promoción de un proceso continuo de transformación individual y social. El Volumen 2 concluye que la espiritualidad promueve la grandeza y el Liderazgo, introduciendo una comprensión del Liderazgo como un proceso de renovación continua con una orientación social. Los volúmenes 3 y 4 investigan cómo nuestra grandeza y Liderazgo enriquecen el CI de las naciones y organizaciones, promoviendo el bienestar social. 

El Liderazgo es una tarea desafiante, amplificada por la geopolítica global y el núcleo de la navegación tridimensional del conocimiento. La economía política es más que nunca muy dinámica. Parte de ello podría manejarse aprendiendo los mapas del ciclo vital del difunto profesor Jay Forrester del MIT. Pero también integrando hacia adelante las aportaciones de la Física Cuántica y las Ciencias de la Vida, por ejemplo, la investigación genética. Este cultivo podría ofrecer perspectivas de ciencias de la vida a los viejos paradigmas de Liderazgo, ya que amplificará las dimensiones de RENOVACIÓN continua más allá del paradigma económico del crecimiento, a menudo unidimensional. 

Esta navegación podría ser mucho más compleja y requerir un liderazgo, como ya se ha dicho, de tres dimensiones.  Pero también una renovación de la agenda del Liderazgo, en sí mismo. Un Liderazgo de flujo más que de stock. Algunas dimensiones centrales del Liderazgo todavía están relacionadas con la geofísica de la teoría de la Longitud. En consecuencia, la navegación del Liderazgo tiene que ver con la posición, la dirección y la velocidad. Un Liderazgo armonizador mediante modernas herramientas GPS.

Quizás necesitemos innovar y actualizar la nueva Agencia Institucional para la navegación del Bienestar Social. La Agencia para este nuevo Liderazgo podría operar con una brújula mucho más refinada. Las métricas centrales estarán en las dimensiones ecológicas y el flujo del bienestar más allá del pensamiento a granel. 

Como el prof. Johan Rockström, del Instituto Medioambiental de Potsdam, defiende que necesitamos iniciar el empuje como una alianza global de conocimiento para iniciar, prototipar y cultivar el nuevo curso de navegación para las generaciones futuras después de la Era de la Economía Industrial. 

Un paradigma creciente y dinámico de Ciencias de la Vida presenta un papel de Liderazgo mucho más integrado con el conocimiento multitalento. La dinámica en una nueva agencia ágil de una construcción global en red se caracteriza más por los intangibles, los activos blandos y el flujo vívido, cercano a una DAO (Organización Autónoma Descentralizada). 

El prototipo de esta nueva agencia podría crearse en un laboratorio interdisciplinar como el que creamos en el Skandia Future Center de Suecia. Se podría considerar la creación de una nueva escuela de navegación y un programa de formación para iniciar el aprendizaje y la creación de prototipos.

La creciente oportunidad está esperando nuestras nuevas iniciativas y las suyas.
