Citizen centricity crowns a new king – the citizen and its well being. The author claims that the values of trust, transparency

and authenticity and a call for a true awareness to citizens’ needs and their rightful place in the systems is what will define the new

governance of a citizen centered social sensitive leaders. It is a global phenomenon, and so on October 15 people all across the

world will march in a protest not just against a capitalistic paradigm that set citizens back due to financial manipulations and greed, the

major fractures in the values that hold a society together, brought about the bankruptcy of the current ruling paradigm. Therefore they reclaim

their natural place at the center of the systems and call for a new language.

The people itself becomes the mover and shaker - a collective of citizens. A global movement is being born, that reflects a universal
