Toni,
I agree with your observation: "Whoever manages their bias agenda better, will have first use of attendant moral rectitude. Statistically speaking, of course. "
Thanks for the reference to Peggy Holman's book. Enjoyed reading it. Holman talks about patterns emerging from chaos... and she remains optimistic...
Nevertheless, I am reminded of a recent quote by Margaret Wheatley

I'm sad to report that in the past few years, ever since uncertainty became our insistent 21st century companion, leadership has taken a great leap backwards to the familiar territory of command and control.
