Richard is an author, speaker and social commentator on the evolution of human values in business and society. Richard’s latest book is Love, Fear and the Destiny of Nations; the impact of the evolution of human consciousness on world affairs. Richard is a leading global expert on the evolution of human values, culture, leadership and consciousness in business and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard gives his assessment of Western Civilization-where we are, what’s working well, the challenges we face and his vision for the next evolutionary steps into ever deeper democracy. His model of values driven leadership, leadership development and conscious evolution has been honed over thousands of leaders and organizations globally. He shows how this can be applied at the national and civilizational level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe believes that there is an inevitable evolution of human values and consciousness once people’s deficiency needs are met and they become able to expand their consciousness and values into seeking their growth needs. He is certain that China will evolve its own form of democracy within 20 years, as will those other nations which are learning from the West how to lift people out of poverty and the basic levels of deficiency needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the West, he sees our next stage of development is to continue to create conditions in which people’s basic needs are met so that we can evolve from freedom through equality, accountability, openness, transparency to trust. He says that business leaders are already well engaged in developing themselves to make this leap because they watch successful people and learn. He calls on political leaders to do the same but laments the current political culture which he feels is holding back our development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Future of Western Civilization Series 1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr Nicholas Beecroft, a Military and Organizational Psychiatrist, has spent 25 years exploring the worlds of Medicine, Psychiatry, Business, International Relations and the Military.
