To design Thriving ECOSYSTEM Leadership 2025–2030, we must shift leadership thinking from managing organizations to orchestrating ecosystems — where leaders don’t control, they connect, don’t command, they coordinate, don’t compete, they co-create.

This defines the new leadership currency:
Ecosystem Power = Connection × Collaboration × Continuity × Contribution
