OUR VISION

We hold the vision that the worldwide development of diverse and explicit leadership cultures and leadership disciplines is one of the key elements for sustainable local and global development. We view the Deep Democracy Institute as a think-tank and network that facilitates, supports and implements leadership development initiatives for this purpose.

 

Why is Leadership Development a Key to Sustainable Local and Global Development

In our view, each region of the globe, each community, each organization, and each person has a unique individual path of development. This individual path includes its own framework from which to view reality. Individual paths are reflected in diverse narratives and philosophies within local communities and within the global community. They create diversity on our planet and between cultures with all their aspects, for example the experience of space and time, or the place and importance of relationship, or the role of history and ancestors, and many more.  This culminates in a multifaceted diversity about what it means to be human on this earth and in the universe.

We adhere to the Deep Democracy Paradigm, which suggests that all of these frameworks are equally valid and needed. Over time, all viewpoints must be heard and related to, as all information in a system is vital for its sustainability and blossoming. We are aware that at a given moment in history, some styles are more central and some more marginal.

We believe that leadership is the act of stewarding and tending to a chosen collective by assisting that collective in discovering its own developmental path, and helping it to blossom. We consider the awareness process in developing leadership for each region, community, and individual, to be the key to re-discovering innate value, appreciating, and consequently developing it. Each group will apply its own style, way, and timing on this natural path. Our leadership trainings assist in making organizations and individuals aware of this process, and facilitating its emergence.
