This duology is impelled by the reality that the future demands a fresh résumé. The Learning Era is upon us. In the grand scheme of human evolution, generally
accepted learning procedures have been unable to keep pace with the high-velocity transformations that most enterprises now face. Most prevailing learning
systems are still rooted firmly in the Industrial Era, where capital was seen as financial and physical, not intellectual. The antiquity of our current learning
systems is critical. These systems tend to perpetuate the status quo, within which there is little status. Transforming and correcting this scenario calls for much
individual resolve, and collective action. New dimensions of learning have unfolded with stunning speed…either we move ahead, or stay dead! Only then can
each nation be in the vanguard of the world as a Learning Nation!
These two manifestos challenge you to challenge yourself, and offer leaders in any domain the opportunity to exterminate the status quo! For a state or nation to
emerge as a role model of incorruptible leadership, governance must be defined by:

* INTEGRITY: at all levels of sustained, and stainless, peak performance;
* SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY: to serve the causes of society by reaching for the highest ideals;
* QUALITY: in every aspect of product, process, service, or system;
* DISCIPLINE: to see through things, and see things through;
* TEAMWORK: with congregations coming together as teams that work, for the greatest good.
