ABSTRACT
This chapter proposes that organizations and nations need leaders who understand that they must nurture the development of seven different kinds of capital to spur real and sustainable progress. They are physical, economic, intellectual/emotional, spiritual/moral, environmental, governmental, and social capital. It argues that the degree to which civil society exists in a country can be assessed in four fundamental ways of Observing behaviors, Examining broad outcomes, Examining institutions. Leaders who have a clear picture in their minds of the essentiality, interdependence, and fragility of all seven of these forms of capital, and have the capability, by enriching and shaping the worldview of their citizens, to build up and meld them, have the right stuff to lead countries. Before a wheel can function properly, material must be gathered for the building process. The concept of transformational leadership henceforth TL, that comes the closest to having the breadth and depth needed to address worldview concerns, it criticized for its complexity.
