Quotes “In the emerging 4.0 stage of our economy, the natural self-interest of the players extends to a shared awareness of the whole eco-system. Eco-system awareness requires us to open the heart and internalize the views and concerns of other stakeholders. The result is decisions and outcomes that benefit the whole system, not just my part of it.” The Essentials of Theory U - Otto Scharmer “The new context that restores community is one of possibility, generosity and gifts, rather than one of fear, mistakes and self-interest. Citizens become powerful when they choose to shift the context within which they act in the world” Community, the Structure of Belonging - Peter Block
