"For me the tension between the need for continuity and the need for innovation and change was central to society and civilization" Peter F. Drucker

Action: Are you and your organization change agents? What steps can you take to both change and balance change with stability? Peter F. Drucker

My friend, geneticist Erhard Bieberich says that our genetic evolution has only progressed in a minute amount, since our days as “knuckle draggers”. However, socially, we are accelerating our evolution. Our role as managers is both to conserve the core and to be agents of change of the core. Hmmmmm, confusing... liberal conservative or conservative liberal?

Look at the social changes that GOOGLE is driving. Basically, information for everybody, from the source. The Chinese government says it doesn’t like this, because it is causing too much social change too fast. You know you are doing something significant if the government of the world’s largest population shuts you down... WOW. Is it GOOGLE’s role to continue to drive this social information revolution. What if they stop, have they impeded mankind’s evolution rather than do their duty to social evolution?
