S11-Ep3: How Your Leadership Can Rebalance Society – Solutions from Henry Mintzberg & Jonathan Gosling

Guests: Henry Mintzberg & Jonathan Gosling, Co-Founders of One Planet Leadership

What does it take to rebalance society and change the world?

 

Easy: you…and your leadership. Although that answer is easy, accomplishing change can be hard. Guests Henry Mintzberg and Jonathan Gosling have studied this for decades, and share both the issues and the solutions for rebalancing society. It may be difficult for us as leaders – humans tend to be comfortable with the status quo – but the very survival of our species could be at stake.

Here's what Henry, Jonathan, and Maureen cover:

1. How simple changes in our stock market investing and lead to long-term changes in society;
2. The importance of realizing that though we have one planet, we live in many different worlds; and
3. The role of regenerative leadership in moving our organizations forward.
