“THINK GLOBALLY, ACT LOCALLY”
Call to Change
Human diversity begins with understanding one's
constructive differences with "Self" and "Others" ... as our
work lives become more stratified (layered) and
specialized... it is now more important to recognize one's
individual contribution to the larger global need for
creating balance and harmony that lead toward building
"sustainable holistic organisations" through individual
creativity and "stakeholdership“. There is an Art to this
new way of thinking...
