The current results are the results of the current system. If you want (radically) different results, you have to (radically) change the system. An ambiguous goal is set for a reason. #SystemsThinking #RaiseTheBar #Leadership

After #war, #NeverAgain takes place within great majority of the people. War is such a brutal teacher. However, #NeverForget is not automatic, it requires systematic, relentless and honest work. #together.
