That reality requires of each of us to learn to act as horizontal leader and work and live together out of this quality.From a vertical organized world, top - down and bottom - up, power and hierarchy we emancipate to a more horizontal organized world, a world of value creating chains and relations, with personal initiative and reflective dialogue.There are leaders and professionals all around the world who dare to do this together. They create humane organizations and develop in them moral authority.In this book you find the basic fruits of our common exploration on horizontal organizing.
