Leadership is Human-Centred

By | September 24th, 2016|Blog Challenge, Future, Leadership|

BONUS DAY 22 ReWrite the World Blog Challenge I imagine a world in which leadership is human-centred. So that.... Acts of leadership speak louder than positions of leadership. Those we work for care about our wellbeing more than the bottom line. Those who represent us in government are there to serve more than seek power and play political games. Leadership skills are taught in schools to empower children to be sovereign over their own existence and to hold the collective well-being as paramount in decision making. Today, leadership is as much a learned skill as it is a bestowed title. [...]

That you can become a powerful change agent. Seeing our seeing [...]

Business Solves Today’s Problems

By | September 9th, 2016|Blog Challenge, Future, Leadership|

I imagine a world in which business solves today’s problems. So that... We use some of the significant wealth and resources in the business world to address issues like poverty and inequality, environmental degradation, and enables conflict resolution to prevent wars. The demonisation of business is replaced with respect because industry has earned the public's trust back. Today, business is seen as running in spite of people’s needs and oblivious to the limits of natural resources, with no regard to long-term sustainability. Commercial institutions are regarded as short-sighted, and uncaring entities that flog their widgets regardless of if they are actually needed or useful for [...]
