Ep. 84 Jon Alexander on the possibility of opening up a Citizen Future

Jon Alexander is the author of the hugely popular 2022 book 'Citizens: Why the Key to Fixing Everything is All of Us'. He talks to me about the people he interviewed and the stories he collected which show how it's possible to go from what he calls a 'Consumer' mindset to a 'Citizen' mindset – like Taiwan's innovative approach during the COVID pandemic. We also discuss the Three P's of Participatory Organisations, what leadership would need to look like in a Citizen Future, and why we should try to create 'safe uncertainty'.
