"Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it." — President Barack Obama quoting Thomas Paine, The American Crisis #1, December 23, 1776

On January 14, 2008, a new language called MBS (Manager's Basic Subjects) was launched to the world  to teach us to be real managers-leaders. Many of its statements coincides with the thoughts for Change and Hope of President Obama. Now we have more reasons to say that the World need to "speak" MBS in all organizations, private and public.

"That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood… Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. " (Barack Obama’s inauguration speech)

The rational world is becoming mindful of the need for complex changes in the behavior of all humankind, lest we come dangerously close to a point of no return.

 "Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights. "(B. Obama)

The world must agree to the predominance of the common good over individual welfare, and accept that irational or harmful action on the part of some organizations during the course of their development, can become a Sword of Damocles that could jeopardize the world order and pose a genuine threat to community.

The world is changing... You, your bussines, your company, your city, your state, your country and the world ... Need MBS ! .. for leading change.
