«I sense that institutions (public and private, not for profit and spiritual) follow shaky leadership models promoting individualistic and fragmented thinking.

I dream of an alternative to either fit in existing institutions or withdraw and act alone.

I aspire to a different path to leadership, a collective path where each participant is both essential and irrelevant, where I matter profoundly and I do not matter at all, where «I am because we are» and «we are because I am».

I decided to create that alternative using dialogue (for depth) and new communication technologies (for breadth). This alternative is 2d4b: diversity and dialogue for the base of the pyramid.»
