Your faith

The new sciences offer insights into how individuals can influence societies by emphasizing the role of forces, waves, possibilities, and other intangible forces in social phenomena. Acknowledging the intangible invites scholars and practitioners to “give up predictability” and “facts” and to focus on “potentials” (Wheatley, 2006, p. 35).

Reminiscent of the ancients, the emerging sciences compel leadership scholars and practitioners explore leadership as “an act of faith” (p. 47).
