Are we standing on the brink of a new era?

Are we being called upon to reshape the reality of our lives, for us to meet the new human capabilities?

Within two decades our lives have undergone a fundamental change. Up until now humanity had existed in a single, defined world, yet today we exist simultaneously in both a real and a virtual world. Humanity has developed a parallel world – a world that exists, that is significant, powerful and even threatening. It is present in every aspect of our lives. This, in turn, is generating a change in the human essence.

The three powers of leadership are passing from the leaders to the people:

1. The economy is run on a global level.
2. Military and professional knowledge are freely available.
3. The communication media is changing – everyone has the power to appeal to the masses and harness them to their goal through the social networks.

"Dr. Shlomo Yishai was involved in the establishment of the Air Force Academy for Senior Officers. The great interest, learning and development we gained from meeting with him led us to adopt the method he developed as the basis for the Academy’s educational rationale. There is no doubt that the Academy’s success stems from the quality and tailoring of his method, which has empowered the leadership abilities of the Air Force commanders.

The practical models described in the book – the Human Trio and the Key to Leadership ”"provide everyone with the opportunity to enhance the results of their actions in the face of the new era in which we live in, and herein lies their importance”.
