ABSTRACT
Collectively, humanity needs to bring about systemic changes needed to ensure the survival and thriving of human beings on the planet— along with the multitude of other living beings with which we are intimately interconnected. This chapter argues that modern shamans— healers, connectors and sensemakers in the service of a better world— can potentially help transform the whole system at multiple levels towards greater sustainability with dignity and flourishing for all. That transformation means significant shifts in how businesses as well as all other human institutions operate and impact the world. System change presents a daunting prospect, yet the troubled world we face calls us to such change. Arguably, it is the shamans among us who can step forward as the change agents who are needed.
