Chairman, CON-First GmbH, Frankfurt; Germany
True Leaders have always acknowledged the operating principles of our universe by being guided by ethics and values. The ignorance of many of these principles by many of today’s leaders has caused the crisis and will cause further crisis based on the law of physics: “action causes reaction”. – Pilots who ignore the operating principles of aircraft also crash. This is the reality. In the future we can only afford True Leaders, being well versed in the operating principles of our universe and being guided by them. Raising these principles is the generally acknowledged prerequisite to taking leadership responsibilities. This is the Paradigm Shift we have to implement.
