in many cases our awareness • whether as individuals, organisations
or nations • [IS] still limited and local. To use an analogy from biology,
even though our actions affect the larger ecosystem of which we are
a part—in fact the multiple interacting economic, social, political and
environmental ecosystems—we sill behave as though our actions are
narrow in scope and impact. We see ourselves as part of a far smaller,
more isolated ego-system."
Scharmer and Kaufer explain why actions based on this “ego-system” awareness not only result in recurring crises, but doom any attempt to resolve them—we are trying to meet new challenges with an obsoletemindset. To show the shape of the emerging future they bring this ecosystem awareness to bear on areas such as labor, capital, production, technology, leadership, ownership and many others, offering a blueprint for a new society based on a profound understanding of how the actions of each affects the many.
This book’s journey is about a path and a method of dropping the baggage of old habits of thought and then crossing through the gate to an economy that operates more consciously, inclusively, and collectively.
THIS book addresses what we believe to be a blind spot in global
discourse today: how to respond to the current waves of disruptive change form a deep place that connects us to an emerging future,
rather than reacting against the patterns of the past, which usually means perpetuating them.

He writes a blog about empathy called ‘Outrospection' and plans a book on the subject, and even a museum.by Jenny Lunnon - Interview with Roman Krznaric Oxford Times December 29th 2011
... as judged I would affirm in concert with THE MIND OF AN EMPATH !!!I would suppose therefore that my subsequent comment on Roman Krznaric's blog, entitled Why creativity is not about originality - just about summarises my own experience of LIFE ...
"Your reference to Michelangelo is well chosen, particularly in the context of his fame at the time for the outward appearance of the human body, which has coloured the majority of our status-quo collective mindset in this new millennium; juxtaposed to 'the bastard ' Leonardo, whose truly creative and brilliant 3D like drawings, of the internal workings of the human body, are still used today, because of their 'realism', during the instruction of surgeons in where and how to cut." SO as Leonardo well understood..."ALL IS IN NATURE and WE ARE A CIRCUMSTANCE of NATURE" ...feeling THE TRUTH THROUGH his OWN personal UNIVERSAL PERSPECTIVE, I would suggest.
