One of the things I love about you is that you are a visionary paired with process. You and Policylink think about the good life and try to panic. Clear picture. Also the steps to get us there. And I think this podcast is one really powerful way to tell that story, to help us get there. But there's something that's been on my mind before we get into the episodes. I want to get to the episodes. There's a change that's a coming to America. The great Browning of America, the broiling and basting and crisping of America through this demographic change. And a lot of people are very afraid of that. And we need to be able to have these like, direct, courageous conversations about that fear. How are you thinking about people's fear of that change? And how does your vision and project around achieving a good life through reimagined democracy address that? It's the reason that we're focused on it. One of two big ones. I know that. A lot of people are afraid. I know that a lot of white people just can't imagine a country in which white people aren't the overwhelming majority and everything revolves around white people. And what I hope that people will get from this series and get from just thinking about do we want to live in a democracy? Do we want to live in a nation that finally into is really quite amazing ideals that we haven't lived up to and know that if that's going to happen, it's going to happen because the next wave of Americans. Receive the kind of investment, the kinds of belonging and inclusion that allows us to think of having a common identity. So when I talk about a thriving, radically inclusive multiracial democracy, it may be easy for people to hear that radically inclusive includes all. People say, yeah, I know you want that, but they may not see immediately is that the outcome of a good life gets extended to all because the nation will be able to provide those things that you need to thrive. Economic opportunity, the kinds of building of community and, and whether cities or suburbs, wherever you're making community, it will happen because the people who are going to be the future are prepared for the future. Those people are disproportionately of color, but they are not disproportionately angry. They are disproportionately aspirational. They are wanting and if we invest in that wanting, we find with the whole country is wanting to thrive. OK, thank you for addressing. I like that vision. Good.

I'm often asked when delivering workshops, presentations and hosting virtual and/or live meetings, "what made you choose to live in #SouthAfrica, in 1998?" Most, expect me to tell a political #story, which would precede the emerging narrative of fulfilling the dreams and aspirations of a soon to arrive, "Rainbow Nation", in the new #Democracy. Those same people are often surprised by my answer. I'd love to hear if any of it is relatable to you? Here's a bit of my #afrofuturist story and journey.

Democracies boost societal resilience but face decline. They manage crises better, promote public accountability, and use citizens’ assemblies for forward-thinking solutions. Yet, they stagnate due to #globalization, #inequality, #individualism, and #CorporateInfluence. Strengthening democracies requires more participation, representation, and equality.

The Ends of Organizations? Ken Galbraith's observation in 'The Affluent Society' (1958) tells us that there is an end (or goal) of evolving organizational practices, namely, to serve higher-order needs and partake in a more democratic form. If so, then it seems that a 'good' organization is one that is measured by how 'democratic' it is in its make-up, decision-making, treatment of its members, etc. and how well it serves higher-order needs of society. But I do wonder if this also stacks the deck in favour of a particular view of institutions that itself fails to make room for organizations that do not value such structures but wish to also be called good. What other values or ends should organizations aim to achieve?!? #democracy #institutions #organizationalculture #organizations #organizationalchange #organizationaldevelopment #Goals #Ideas #business

When numerous crises and unpredictable changes cause turbulence, robust governance is essential to temper the storm and adjust to new routines. At University of California, Berkeley, Professor Christopher Ansell stated, "Turbulence is experienced as a surprising hot mess that triggers the intensification of demands. Governments should care about turbulence because it can lead to a breakdown of basic routines and systems.” #democracy #multilevelgovernance #politicalscience #robustgovernance

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗴𝗹𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 Underserved communities are often portrayed as helpless victims. → This is a harmful stereotype! These communities aren't problems to be solved; they're a goldmine of untapped potential for the world! The issue is that – they face significant barriers to success. So, instead of pity, we need partnership. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘄𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻: ➡ 𝗔𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 their strengths instead of their challenges? ➡ 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 in their leaders, not only their needs? ➡ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 sustainable solutions with them, not for them?
