| Abstract | The UN Millennium goals envision a more just and sustainable future. This article explains why there is a need to shift from domination model to a partnership model in meeting the UN Millennium goals. The domination model is a configuration based on top-down rankings of control, while the partnership model is a configuration that can support a more equitable, peaceful, and sustainable way of life. In partnership-oriented societies, whether in the family, the workplace, or society at large, so-called feminine qualities and behaviours, whether they reside in women or men, are not only held in high esteem, but also incorporated into the operational values system. There is a more democratic and egalitarian social structure, equal partnership between women and men, and less built-in violence, as it is not needed to maintain rigid rankings of domination. To successfully meet the UN Millennium Goals, initiatives aimed at changing dominator economic and political structures worldwide are needed. However, moving to partnership structures does not mean a completely flat organisation nor mandatory consensus. Systemic change requires taking into account the whole social system, going beyond what are conventionally considered the "important economic and political issues". It requires leaders who understand that real leadership in this time must empower rather than disempower, that everyone's creativity and participation are needed, and that working together, people can lay solid foundations on which to build a more sustainable, equitable and peaceful world culture.
