Wheatley describes today's challenging landscape as an “age of retreat: from one another, from values that held us together, from ideas and practices that encouraged inclusion, from faith in leaders, from belief in basic human goodness.” This calls for leaders to acknowledge where they are, what they must deal with, and what and with whom they have to work with. Only by facing and addressing this reality can they move on to something better for themselves, their followers, organizations, communities, and society as a whole. Yet there is hope. She reminds us that “all people want to belong and feel part of a community.”
