In a digital interconnected world, those that occupy leadership positions should focus on helping their networks to become smarter, more resilient and capable of making better decisions. Networks move information faster than institutions or markets. While the Manifesto (1999) said markets are conversations, networks today are memes that are instantly spreading, without conversation. The borderless and Information liquid transmission Makes a global oral cacophony.
After four years, no government has intensified to make us smarter to treat the SARS-2 virus. The pandemic continues and people continue to die and more people are condemned to live with the long covid still incurable.
What Minister of the Government will assume the task of educating the public on the real misdeeds of COVID-19? What government will implement the necessary measures to prevent the gradual attrition of the key pillars of society?
Social, economic and public health costs of maintaining fiction that we can experience normally by ignoring Covid-19 are simply too high for this situation “as usual” continues and the attrition rate is too high for this to be sustainable. –John Snow Project 2025-11-25
Leadership in our connected world must come beyond civil society, governments and markets. For example, A pop star Can have more influence on the participation rate than the best efforts of any institution. We must all use the expertise and influence we have to support democracy and a lasting future for everyone.
If this pandemic has taught us something, it is because the experts do not agree, no one has all the answers, and we (in particular our institutions) invent things as you go. In a crisis, it is important to act, but even more important to learn as we take measures. Only cooperative networks will help us understand the complex challenges we face – climate change, environmental degradation, pandemics, political disorders, genocide, etc.
Our institutions are not up to the creation of collective meaning and There is no audience on the world marketOnly consumers and workers. The responses to the way we approach the current pandemic (it is not over even if our institutions and our markets say it) will not come from the government or the market. They will come from people engaged in a network. The challenge will be to ensure that these groups do not become tribal populist contrasts, because we already have enough. Saving democracy is a worthy objective. The “drainage of the swamp” and the “liberated rallies” are not.
Each of us must know how we can be catalysts of knowledge in a liquid world, helping to make our networks smarter, more resilient and capable of making better decisions.
