Be the Island of Coherence in a Disturbed Sea

"When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order."
— Ilya Prigogine, Nobel Laureate (1977)

While we are surrounded by complex and chaotic environments, our goal should be to create something meaningful and harmonious—a space of clarity and empathy, an "island of coherence"—through collaboration and mindful leadership.

Leadership is about cultivating these islands of coherence both internally, within ourselves, and externally, within the systems and organizations we belong to. This is not just resilience; it is mindfulness in action.
