A Necessary Revolution: Recipe for "Doom and Gloom?"

by Ray B Williams

Hardly a day goes by without us being bombarded by pronouncements of doom and gloom--the economic crisis, deepening climate change problems, continuing threats of terrorism, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and what will be an impending global fresh water supply crisis. Have our scientific, technological and capitalistic geniuses abandoned us? Or have the paradigms--our way of thinking and doing--outlived their usefulness?

Dr. Peter Senge, MIT systems expert, has waded into these questions and more in his book, "The Necessary Revolution: How Individuals and Organizations are Working Together To Create As Sustainable World (N.Y.: Doubleday, 2008).

Senge brings a note of optimism and hope by showing that organizations around the world are leading the change from dead-end "business-as-usual" tactics to transformative strategies that are essential for creating a flourishing, sustainable world for current and future generations.

Today, inspirational and innovative leaders recognize that we must implement revolutionary--not just incremental--changes in the way we live and work. Senge illustrates how ordinary people and prominent leaders at every level are transforming their businesses and communities.

How?

By working collaboratively across boundaries, by exploring and putting in place unprecedented solutions that move beyond our current anguishing about our rotten state of affairs, and moving beyond simply aiming to reduce but keep current harmful practices as a symptomatic solution, and instead, by creating new pathways and solutions that will enable us to flourish in an interdependent world.

Senge gives us inspiration and also clearly practical strategies and solutions to help us pull ourselves out of the current doom and gloom. Everyone should read this book. No, even better, everyone should read this book, and take action based on it.
