ABSTRACT
Governance matters whether it is global, national, corporate, governmental, societal, local or even personal. Leaders represent and drive governance for good, for better, for bad and for evil. Some of the longer-term implications of the economic hit may also be seen in other social impacts, such as the increase in health problems, opioid addiction, suicide rates, lowering of white male life expectancy and other negative social implications that also feed into the rise of populism and Trumpism in America. Companies and other types of organizations that are reaching certain levels or stages of development really need to pause and think about whether their governance is on a par with their stage of development. The ultimate form of governance comes from our own personal self-governance – what each of us does as a person, in our family milieu, at school, at work, in society and as a citizen of a community, a city, a nation and the globe.
