Foresight as the Central Ethic of Leadership (Voices Booklet 8)

In this thoughtful essay, Daniel H. Kim lays the groundwork for understanding foresight as the central ethic of leadership. Kim, a founding member of the Society for Organizational Learning, brings to this work his deep understanding of system dynamics as he guides the reader through the differences between forecasting, predicting, and foresight; helping actions vs. meddling actions; the relation between levels of perspective and action modes; understanding how vision and choices relate to foresight; and calling the reader to a deeper level of service to others and to self.
