What if we remembered that technology is nature?
Leadership Legacy explores how digital technology interacts with our elemental connections to the world, ether, air, fire, water, earth, creating a “digital symbiosis” that shapes our present and future.
This is not a manual for optimisation. It’s a meditation on ancestry, empire and how we navigate the complexity of power linked to technology and innovation.
An essential vision for leaders seeking to navigate their responsibility to the planet and their fellow global citizens.
The Five Elements
Each element explores a dimension of our technological relationship:
ETHER: LEAVE
Consciousness requires space. How technology affects our capacity for presence and transcendence.
AIR: BREATH
Diversity enables adaptation. Navigating complexity while technology creates filter bubbles.
FIRE: GROW
Transformation requires destruction. How we wield power to solve or avoid, dominate or serve.
WATER: FLOW
The relationship is rhythmic. The tension between technological urgency and natural time.
EARTH: GROUND
Lineage anchors innovation. How technology affects our connection to place and legacy.
