Marketing "green" products often backfires because, much as we'd like all buyers to follow the altruistic "because green is better" thinking, other unaddressed factors intervene to short circuit that thinking, with the result that sustainable solutions fail to gain traction in the hearts and minds of buyers.

The Economics of Kindness: The End of Capitalism and the Birth of a New Cooperative Economy.
Today’s economy has become for many a kindness-free zone, in which most of the benefits go to the rich, while others suffer, and nature is assaulted.
Capitalism is based on the competitive pursuit of self- interest, but a new economy is emerging to replace it, based on cooperation and kindness. It is being built in cities and on farms, in new kinds of business and banking, and in new approaches to work.

“Most people want to do good, and believe that doing so will ultimately benefit everyone, including a company’s shareholders. But what’s been missing in recent decades is a clear compass to guide those in leading positions in our society and economy,” ~ Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum.
Imagine being a consumer, you walk into two different shops looking for a new pair of shoes. One is a traditional retail shop, the other one, as you walked in, a simple signboard caught your attention stating that “for every pair of shoes you bought, we will donate another pair to those who need it.” Which shop will you end up purchasing the shoes from if the quality and pricing are more or less the same?
“Charity is no solution to poverty. Charity only perpetuates poverty by taking the initiative away from the poor. We can create a poverty-free world because poverty is not created by poor people. It has been created and sustained by the economic and social systems that we have designed for ourselves; the institutions and concepts that make up that system; the policies that we pursue. You change the system and people get out of poverty. It is the ability to control capital that gives people the power to rise out of poverty.” ~ Muhammad Yunus, Banker to the Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty

An introduction to my own personal and professional journey in which I seek to close the momentous environmental and social gaps we face by accelerating the Momentous Leap in human development.
Of Mindshifts, Worldshifts, Capability and Culture Shifts
What would it take for our planet to thrive? Said Dawlabani posed this question to me when asking me to give a speech to the Spiral Dynamics Summit on the Future. It’s a great question, and indeed it provoked me to dig deep into my own thinking, experiences and resources to come up with an answer in the 50 minutes allotted to me. I was also fortunate to have fifteen other gifted speakers plus an audience of some seventy experienced practitioners to put some flesh on the bones of an answer to that momentous question.
My short answer to Said’s question would be:
“In order for our planet to thrive, we need to close the momentous environmental and social gaps we face, through a momentous leap. This momentous leap involves a global shift in mindsets amongst those that are shaping the future of our planet, in ways that drive worldshifts capable of closing the momentous gap, leading us to a thriving future where all life on earth can flourish. Those mindshifts, however, must also be accompanied by capability and culture shifts if they are to scale and engage those key decision makers and their stakeholders effectively. Finally, we need more effective global governance systems to emerge that support thriveable transformation.”
One of the paradoxes of business today is that the most profitable businesses in the world are not those which are the most profit-focused. Substantial research has consistently shown that purpose-driven organisations generate far more returns as compared to profit-driven organisations.

The future of skills | What we need to know in the 2020'sWorking Voices
In this paper we show why change is at the heart of Future Skills. Then we outline the ways that professional development can help to produce the leaders required for the terrain ahead.
An overview of the ThriveAbility Foundation, it's program and the ThriveAbility Approach. Shared in Boston at E&Y's offices in the John Hancock Tower with some of our founding partners.
Over the past three years, in conjunction with though leaders and practitioners in the worlds of sustainability, reporting, finance, innovation, psychology and strategy, the ThriveAbility Foundation has developed The ThriveAbility Program, which relies on the following seven principles:
1. If we are to reinvent Capitalism, we need to reinvent capital.
2. In order to reinvent capital, we need to transcend and include true costing (including externalities), true pricing (relying on markets alone to price thriveability), to arrive at True Value. This in turn relies on Integrated Thinking to drive Integrated Innovations that can then benefit from Integrated Reporting.
3. True Value is calculated using the six capitals in the ThriveAbility Six Capital Equation, where we maximise the thriving of human and social capital for the minimum footprint of natural and manufactured capital, through the power of intellectual and financial capital, driven by an accelerated innovation cycle.
4. Embodying True Value- There are three pathways toward embodying thriveable capital and investing in current institutions and practices in order to reinvent capital for a thriving future:
a. Making Capital Smarter, Wiser and Capable of Complex Systems Thinking
b. Shifting the Values and Perspectives that Prioritize the Incentives for Innovating and Investing in organizations
c. Applying the ThriveAbility Approach and Index to accelerate the transformations and innovations that drive ThriveAble organizations and investments.
5. The ThriveAbility Approach seeks to close the sustainability gap by closing the organizational gap that requires closure of the cultural and leadership gap in organizations. This is performed in a six step operation- the first four steps are internal to an organization, whil steps 5 and 6 (benchmarking and indexing) are cluster/industry wide.
6. The ThriveAbility Journey maps the five stages from compliance through “less bad” through sustainable, net positive and thriveable, enabling organizations to navigate their transitions from one stage to the next more effectively.
7. The ThriveAbility Approach and Index have been designed so as to not only build on existing sustainability efforts and metrics, but also to address the human and organizational factors that bedevil most initiatives that seek to move beyond merely incremental change. In this way we seek to enhance the existing strengths we have in innovation, design, transformation, leadership, strategy and psychology to ensure a thriving future for us all.
How can businesses create a thriving world? Robin explains how incremental and disruptive innovations within the ThriveAbility framework generate breakthroughs that ca make that happen. At the same time, this creates a new kind of competitive advantage for businesses, based on synergies that are created in their business ecosystems.

Public Speaking Tips to Help You Be A Strong Leader.pdfPinta Partners
In the realm of effective leadership, a multitude of skills come into play, but one stands out as both crucial and challenging: public speaking.
Public speaking transcends mere eloquence; it serves as the medium through which leaders articulate their vision, inspire action, and foster engagement. For leaders, refining public speaking skills is essential, elevating their ability to influence, persuade, and lead with resolute conviction. Here are some key tips to consider: https://joellandau.com/the-public-speaking-tips-to-help-you-be-a-stronger-leader/
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

15. Human Nature Prepares for a Momentous Leap
In 1974 psychologist Clare Graves argued human society is facing a period of fundamental change,
“the most difficult, but at the same time the most exciting
transition the human race has faced to date”
Graves believed humanity was at the beginning of “not merely a transition to a new
level of existence, but
”the start of a new movement in the symphony of
human history”
As man moves from the sixth or personalistic level, the level of being with self and other men,
the seventh level, the cognitive level of existence,
“a chasm of unbelievable depth of meaning is
crossed”
43. “I am not saying in this conception of adult behaviour that one style of being, one form of human existence is
inevitably and in all circumstances superior to or better than another form of human existence, another style of being.
…when one form of being is more congruent with the realities of
existence, then it is the better form of living, for those realities
And what I am saying is that when one form of existence ceases to be functional for the realities of existence then
some other form, either higher or lower in the hierarchy, is the better style of living.
I do suggest, however, and this I deeply believe is so, that
for the overall welfare of man’s existence in the world, over the long
run of time, higher levels are better than lower levels,
“and that the prime good of any society’s governing figures should
be to promote human movement up the levels of human existence”
