“The temptation to lead as a chess master, controlling each move of the organization, must give way to an approach as a gardener, enabling rather than directing. A gardening approach to leadership is anything but passive. The leader acts as an “Eyes-On, Hands-Off” enabler who creates and maintains an ecosystem in which the organization operates.”

Vaclav Smil
“Apocalypse and singularity offer two absolutes: our future will have to lie somewhere within that all-encompassing range.”
Vaclav Smil, How the World Really Works: The Science Behind How We Got Here and Where We're Going
