How can leadership be a meaningful element of a healthy ecocivilization?

Leadership can refer to different aspects that I find crucial to distinguish. On the one hand, the term leadership can refer to a structural role in organisations or groups. On the other hand, it can refer to a personal quality of individuals. From the perspective of an emerging ecocivilisation, both understandings of leadership are currently experiencing various challenges such as overwhelm with complexity and leadership dilemmas. The aliveness-oriented vision of an ecocivilisation is not consistent with leadership ideas that are oriented towards notions of goals and success as they are set by non-ecological organisations. Additionally, I argue that the notion of an emerging ecocivilisation challenges the entire understanding of leadership as it has been discussed in the recent past, and I emphasise the importance of a healthy “culture of dying” as an integral part of an aliveness-centered ecocivilisation.
