The Emerging New World Mosaic and What it Means to You ~
Our purpose is not to just survive in a challenging world, it is to discover and fulfill our soul’s agenda and thrive. The modern world has placed many obstacles in the way that keep us distracted from this purpose, the greatest of which is fear. In the Old World Mosaic it is this kind of thinking that has brought humanity to a tipping point where our survival hangs in the balance. With the emerging New World Mosaic we must understand that we are interconnected and interdependent with everyone on the planet. What binds us is far greater than what separates us and our differences are less than one part per billion.  

COMPANIES NEED STRONG MORAL LEADERSHIP

Disengaged and disenchanted employees damage productivity

A recent Towers Perrin Global Workforce study showed that barely 21 percent of employees are engaged in their job, 8 percent are fully disengaged and the remaining 71 percent may be described as disenchanted (partially disengaged) or merely enrolled (only partially engaged). As any company can tell you, retention is directly affected by engagement and a lack of retention can severely damage a company’s effectiveness and productivity.

The problem doesn’t stem from the employees but from leadership—no one will follow a leader who doesn’t have a personal leadership philosophy. In 11 DAYS IN MAY: The Conversation that will Change Your Life (Waterfront Digital Press, 2012) Messinger discusses the fundamental values that make the difference between good leaders—and great leaders—and how those leaders can affect transformative change. “The key is knowing what you stand for. You must know your moral rudder,” says Messinger, whose extensive experience includes nuclear submarine officer, firefighter, nominated as CEO of the Year and advisor to the Prime Minister of Singapore.

11 DAYS IN MAY is Messinger’s journey into his moral center and the insights it generated for business, politics and life. Among the revelations he shares is how our inner Spiritual Warrior can lead us to a deep understanding of our true inner selves that will enhance and promote inspired leadership and true corporate transformation.

By understanding ourselves and our purpose, we can harness untold potential for innovation, inspiration and creativity. New ways can be found to develop answers to the most critical economic, social and health issues of our time and business can lead the way to transformative and effective global change.
