Chapter Thirteen: A Framework for Action
Summary from the book page 262


The moral authority in an innovation-based environment will come from the wisdom of the leader to manage the other preconditions for change: electrifying and then clarifying for the electorate the new moral purpose of an innovation-based, upgrading economy girded by the high and rising standard of value created by the average citizen. This leader will facilitate the development and use of hard and soft technologies for change and learning. He or she will create a broad degree of real and sustained ownership of change among the political base, the opposition, and the increasingly complex populace.

It is ironic for us to think that all of the preconditions for change to a new framework for wealth creation and distribution now exist, except perhaps that our present leadership may still not recognize the possibilities inherent: the hidden sources of growth.
