  Identifying the root cause of a challenge is crucial for implementing effective solutions. In my experience consulting with top leaders, boards, and multi-stakeholder transformation projects, a common obstacle is the inability to pinpoint the underlying cause of the symptoms, thus hindering progress. Einstein’s famous quote perfectly encapsulates this: “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” The climate crisis, mental health crisis, the loneliness pandemic and biodiversity crisis are prime examples of this phenomenon. To overcome these challenges, we must cultivate a New Global Mind—one that sees and senses with depth, intuition, and heightened consciousness. In today’s episode #4, the astute Kasper Benjamin Reimer Bjørkskov joins me as we delve into the tension… Read more »

Bridging Sustainability, Leadership Evolution, and Commercial Success for a Thriving Future / This is a Transmission / Although suffering is an inescapable part of the human condition, adopting a modern Boddhisattva mindset can transform it into a powerful force for growth. Eudaimonic contentment becomes the driving force that propels us towards transcending the limitations imposed by the metacrisis, thereby fostering humanity’s evolutionary trajectory. Through conscious suffering, the experience is no longer one of seemingly needless pain, challenge, and powerlessness, but rather a purposeful path towards a more desirable future. “The greatest breakthroughs of the twenty- first century will not occur because of technology. They will occur because of an expanding concept of what it means to be human.” – business… Read more »

Business leaders often face the dilemma that without a change in the playing field and in the rules of engagement there are limitations to transforming the game. How do we move away from the outdated degenerative patterns of a zero-sum game of winners and losers, in which “winning” is a short-term “success” because we are degrading the patterns that sustain life on Earth? How do we move towards patterns that are truly regenerative by design which change our “game” towards the win-win-win patterns by which life has created conditions conducive to life for 3.8 billion years? This is the focus when Sustainable Leadership Network meet next on January 20, 2021 where Daniel C. Wahl, Transformative Innovation consultant, author of Designing… Read more »

Leaders and Workers Must Launch Change With Self-Disruption by SANDJA BRÜGMANN, Re-published by B the Change, Originally published in Conscious Company Media. “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” — R. Buckminster Fuller The future of work encourages whole human beings to move toward their highest soulful potential. This requires a drastic redesign of organizations, how we work and what we recognize as success. It calls on us to move away from control, manipulation and fear toward cultures that support and foster personal growth, freedom, autonomy and blossoming of the individual. Leaders operate their businesses within an increasingly complex context of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity). They… Read more »
