The Conscious Design of Systems by Evolutionary Leaders toward a Sustainable and Flourishing Monterrey and Mexico

Manuel Manga

To create this new paradigm of sustainability, requires changing the unsustainable mind that we have inherited from our culture and the industrial revolution of the last two centuries. The work of evolutionary leaders is multidimensional, it requires leadership development as well as organizational learning and evolution. (Manga & Hollenhorst, 2004)
