Global thinking: The need and David Loye's proposals for meeting it

In today's world there is a great need for global thinking: the future is still open, and positive developments call for corresponding changes in behaviors. These in turn call for appropriate ways of thinking about current trends and our impacts on the trends. Effective changes in our individual and collective behavior highlight the need for, and the role of global‐thinking evolutionary leadership. David Loye outlined four principal benefits offered by such leadership: improved forecasting, improved interventional guides, participatory problem solutions, and clearer long‐term goals and images.
