👉 I am reading (as Summer homework!) Plato's Republic. It is amazing because today we always aim to be innovative and original... but we forget lessons from the past that we could apply to really improve things. Specifically, I am reading Book 1 of the Republic, focused on defining 'justice': in synthesis, social good requires virtues. In any organization, virtuous leadership is the answer to improving things. When power dynamics and injustice prevail, Socrates clearly states that things can only end nowhere. In Fall I will integrate Plato's works in my course on Professional Development... and this is paradoxically 'innovation' 😄 Swiss Paraplegic Research Fakultät für Gesundheitswissenschaften und Medizin – Universität Luzern

The Erosion of Western Leadership: Time to Look in the Mirror Mehmet Öğütçü – December 26, 2024 This piece wasn’t written on a whim. It was inspired by a conversation with a French author who, in our discussion, kept reiterating the tired clichés of Western universal values, human rights, and its supposed mission to bring democracy and civilization wherever it goes. Frankly, I had enough. I sat down to address the glaring contradictions veiled behind these overused narratives. The Decline of Western Hegemony Despite all its flaws, no one can deny the positive influence of the West on our world and daily lives. Many of the most livable, respectful, and environmentally conscious nations are in the West. Yet, its grip on global dominance is loosening. Together, the United States and the European Union represent approximately 783 million people—merely 10% of the world’s population. By contrast, China’s population alone is nearly double that, at 1.4 billion. Western populations are shrinking, aging, and struggling to compete in technology and affordability. Nonetheless, the West retains significant weight in the global economy, controlling 42% of the world’s GDP—27.3% from the U.S. and 15% from the EU. The Dark Pages of Western History The rise of the West cannot solely be attributed to ingenuity or industriousness. Its ascent was built on the subjugation of other civilizations, the exploitation of natural resources, and the loss of millions of lives. Wealth generated from Africa’s plundered resources, the decimation of indigenous populations in the Americas, and the colonization of Asia financed the Industrial Revolution. The wars of the 20th century, from Vietnam to Iraq and Libya, were initiated or fueled by the West. While…. Continued: https://lnkd.in/dDhS9KGY? Turkish version: https://lnkd.in/d4ewQSyi

Flying off to Toronto today to deliver a presentation on my research, "The Retention of Indigenous Executives in Indigenous Organizations," to a National Indigenous organization. I'm thrilled that Indigenous organizations are eager to apply my findings in practical ways, rather than it just becoming another academic paper. Looking forward to meaningful discussions and impactful collaborations! If your Indigenous organization is interested in receiving a similar presentation, connect with me on LinkedIn. I'd be happy to help on this very important issue. #IndigenousLeadership #ResearchInAction #TorontoBound

The proclamation that "Science is Dead" is not only provocative but also unsettling, especially in a world that relies heavily on scientific advancements. Science, for centuries, has been the bedrock of progress, shaping our understanding of the universe and driving technological and societal advancements. However, in recent years, science faces an existential crisis. This crisis is multi-faceted, encompassing issues such as the reproducibility crisis, diminishing public trust, the politicization of science, and the challenges posed by modern funding and publication practices.
