Foreword
T
hisbookhelpsusthinkatonceaboutthedemandsourworld
is likely to face in the next 35 years and the leadership our
communities will need to both survive those challenges and
thrive. How will we grow the future out of the present? How will
we prepare people for the practices of leadership our children and
grandchildrenwillneed?Whatisourwork,inourlifetimes,tobuild
ascaffoldforthenextgenerations?
The authors in this volume have worked these questions with
courageous imagination and insight. As they suggest, we live at an
opportune moment. Human beings can discover as never before our
interdependence and commonality to bridge across national, reli-
gious, economic, and ethnic identities. We can pool our talents,
resources,andspirit,locallyandbroadly,tocreatethesynergiesand
capitalize on our differences to evolve toward a sustainable, peace-
ful,andjustworld.
The adaptive pressures challenge us: severe inequity; disrespect
and violence toward women and disenfranchised peoples; rapid
climate change and devastation of the natural environment; our
industrial and numbing brutality toward animal life; population
growth that exceeds the economic and political capacities of our
cities, countries, and international relationships; and the wars,
chaos,andterroristicviolencethatfollowwhen,asYeatswroteafter
WorldWarI,“thecentercannothold.”
Leadershipislikelytomatter.
Tointroducethis volume,Isuggest two keyareas forourthink-
ing and research as we look to the future: the dynamics of adaptive
change,andthepracticesofauthorityandleadership.

do the dynamics of adaptive problem-solving, not only generically,
butalsoacrossthediversecontextsthatrequireinformedandskilled
