ABSTRACT
This chapter presents fragments of stories from Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s movie Human and explores them from the lens of dialogical self theory and dialogical leadership. All the narratives of the movie are expressions of explicit or more implicit moralities. Some of the examples given are focused on plurality (opposing and reconciling), in the self, in cultures, in moralities. For example, what makes someone so radically fixed that s/he is willing to kill or die for something? The authors demonstrate that those who were able to employ a participative mode, shifting between multiple dialogical selves and making sense of their experiences with inner and outer dialogue, could transcend culturally created constraints and reconcile opposites like revenge and forgiveness. This illustrates the importance of personal leadership in dealing with the challenges of plural moralities and how, by freeing space in the self, new perspectives can emerge that enables one to lead oneself across the boundaries of self and culture.
