As Liz Truss takes the hot seat in British politics, we explain why political leaders must embrace disintermediation and servant leadership as the way forward to a better world: indeed, this may have been the missing link in Gorbachev's Russia which might have enabled egalitarian capitalism rather than oligarchs and autocracy. Arrogance is so often the Achilles heel of leaders, and genuine humility is hard to detect. So, as she takes the reins in 10 Downing St, we call for a proper understanding of servant leadership and explain why disintermediation is critical to effective delivery, the ability for all to share both wealth and opportunity, and a legacy of continuing progress for the future.
