With calamitous incidences and reports arising every week of unrest, chaos and tensions in the world and the world’s inability to resolve so many issues, it is clear that we need to find a more optimal approach to the way things are being handled and led. In other words, there are clear signals that we have a World Leadership Crisis. To this end, this author decided to consider relative near term options that could potentially address the situation.
This author then set out to find an optimal solution by asking the question: “What is our optimum near-term option to meet World’s Current Leadership Crisis; considering 1) World’s current tensions at dangerous level, 2) World seems to be drifting toward chaos, 3) Younger generations restless with woke thinking and disillusionment, and 4) Mass-migration and climate change impacting society’s stability?” Again, it’s appropriate to focus on just these four considerations to reduce complexity in your editor’s eventual suggestion, when that ultimate moment arrives – despite there being many other possible considerations out there.
He decided to create yin and yang “bookends” posed by this question, to keep his mind focused. Bookends such as these are vital for preventing our fertile intuitive minds from wandering and losing concentration. We are mostly unaware of how powerfully valuable but foot-loose our intuition can be unless we can keep it properly focused on such occasions.
These turned out to be: “Allow things to take natural course” – Could invoke inertia and world calamity;and “Induce another World War to release tensions- invoke change” – Could result in calamitous nuclear war. You will note the italicized detractors associated with these least likely options, which shows why they are not particularly good ideas for consideration. Even so, these bookends will now hopefully nudge this editor’s intuitive thinking into high gear to come-up with a range of realistic options – see ourLatest Worked Option Example.
He then set-out to produce at least five plus realistic options – A thru E or F – that would enable world leaders to pursue Emotional Distancing (ED). EDwould allow them to take a couple of hours or more of quiet reflection, or even sleep on it, beforecoming to any final conclusion. You can replace these proposed five options with any new ones of your own.
His final options look quite interesting and he was particularly intrigued by – Option C: Formulate fresh leader genre (EL) breed to meet current/ future World challenges-BOOK. While Option C could be the most appropriate immediate option, it will likely take a package of options/initiatives to have any real impact. World leaders should stand-by any initial decision, as it would likely only work against them to second-guess themselves once that initial decision is made…no matter the challenges ahead.
