??? ??? ?????? ??…
We got about 40 votes in all.
Almost none (except one!) went for Artists & dreamers – that sounds sane enough & safe too.
About 15% went for spiritual leaders/philosophers – there is something more in them spiritual people & phillies than what ye crowd think, I tell ya
A bit more than 30% went for Farmers / nature professionals (I was one among them)
? ???????? 50% ???? ??? “?? ???? ????????? & ?????????? ?? ???? ?????”
?????. ???. ????.
In spite of the fact that they are indirectly (though unintentionally) responsible for the environmental mess we find ourselves in, many folks – at least in my LinkedIn network – ????? ??? ????????? ??? ??? ???? ??? ?? ???? ??????? ??????.
If I had a second vote (after farmers/nature professionals), I would have gone for engineers too – though a bit grudgingly.

Artists and dreamers can fire imagination but cannot lead big stuff.
Spiritual leaders & philosophers can provide powerful perspectives, but they talk way too much, and too much of the time – we need people of action.
I’m rather skeptical of the other alternative leader segments, and they read as follows:
????????? ????????? – A very powerful segment, but it is very difficult, if not impossible, for this segment to really think beyond money. I have been interacting with too many of them, for too long a time, and I have no misconceptions about this group. Bright folks. Aggressive. But serious lack of holistic perspectives. No go.
????????? ??????? – if money is the anchor for investors, business is the anchor for corporate leaders. However well intentioned they are as individuals (and many of them indeed have great intentions), and whatever they say in public, business and shareholders (most of whom care nothing for the environment) come first for them. Bold chaps. Big thinkers, think biggers. But still, No Go.
?????????? – ???…????…????…?? ???????…????????? ???????…it’s difficult for this segment to arrive at a firm conclusion and action plan on most things…not the folks who can lead aggressive movements.
??????????? – not them, not them, for god’s sake!
