亨利·明茨伯格说，我们的世界已经失去平衡，其后果是致命的：我们的环境恶化，我们的民主制度消亡，我们自己受到诽谤，贪婪被提升为某种崇高的使命。但我们可以把事情纠正过来。明茨伯格认为，健康的社会建立在三个平衡的支柱之上：由受人尊敬的政府组成的公共部门，由负责任的企业组成的私营部门，以及他所说的由强大的志愿协会（非营利组织、非政府组织等）组成的多元化部门。共产主义的崩溃是因为公共部门的专横——1989 年取得了胜利的是平衡，而不是资本主义。但这种误解导致许多国家的私营部门变得专横，尤其是美国，这种不平衡正在造成严重破坏。许多政府现在都被私营部门拉拢，以至于无法领导更新进程。企业社会责任无论多么值得称赞，都无法弥补我们周围随处可见的企业社会不负责任。因此，明茨伯格提出了加强多元化部门的具体想法，该部门有意愿和独立性通过挑战不可接受的做法和开发更好的做法来引领彻底的变革。这意味着如果我们关心我们的星球和我们的子孙后代，变革必须不是由某些“他们”来领导，而是由我们每个人和我们所有人来领导。
Our world is out of balance, says Henry Mintzberg, and the consequences are proving fateful: the degradation of our environment, the demise of our democracies, and the denigration of ourselves, with greed having been raised to some sort of high calling. But we can set things right. Mintzberg argues that a healthy society is built on three balanced pillars: a public sector of respected governments, a private sector of responsible enterprises, and what he calls a plural sector of robust voluntary associations (nonprofits, NGOs, etc.). Communism collapsed because the public sector was overbearing--balance triumphed in 1989, not capitalism. But that misunderstanding has led to the private sector becoming overbearing in many countries, especially the United States, and this imbalance is wreaking havoc. Many governments are now so co-opted by their private sectors that they won't be able to lead the process of renewal. And corporate social responsibility, however laudable, cannot compensate for the corporate social irresponsibility we see all around us. So Mintzberg offers specific ideas for strengthening the plural sector, which has the inclination and the independence to lead radical renewal by challenging unacceptable practices and developing better ones. This means change must be led not by some "them" but by each of us and all of us--if we care about our planet and our progeny.
