- 11. Self + social + spiritual + simple = Sustainability Future + Past = Present Connectedness: Leadership School for Doers and Dreamers A paradigm shift can only start with leadership that moves from the ME culture to the WE culture; from the Consumer mindset to the Prosumer mindset. These leaders choose to abandon the role of victim to live the solution, rather than fight the problem. They create the right conditions for each member of the community to discover and reveal his and her talents, abilities, and inner strengths. An attitude change starting with self-leadership that grows inwardly and outwardly at same time, connecting the head, heart, and hands with: • Low tech and High tech • Soil and soul • Doing and learning • Art and science • Individual and community Ownership of the problem = ownership of the solution, and leads to: • Purpose and process • Creativity and community • Value and evaluation • Ability and responsibility • Connecting diverse people from all walks of life
