Email: What will business leaders do in the future? (Canada)
There’s a growing realisation that business, our world & society will thrive only if employees, customers & partners are healthy & happy, if our planet isn’t on fire & if our society & community isn’t fractured. More & more leaders believe that creating a better & sustainable future requires companies to serve all its stakeholders, not just investors. Leaders are evolving how they think about their mission & how they lead. Keen to pursue a purpose, ready to put people at the centre, dedicated to creating an environment where each employee can blossom. Leaders who embrace inter-dependence, harmoniously & whole-heartedly.
Today, great leadership is even more critical. As a solution to our collective challenges, leaders will build human organisations. A futuristic vision – an intersection of what our world needs, what our people are passionate about, what the company is good at & how it can earn good returns on investments. The spark is to treat work as an essential element of people’s humanity, as a way of finding meaning, inspiration & fulfilment in life.
Leaders will help people make the creative connection between what drives them & the company’s purpose. Being able to influence what we do every day with a bigger vision of why we do it fosters energy, drive & focus. Putting purpose & people at the centre creates a humble human magic.
