Too Few Leaders
Maximum Purpose, Maximum Profit
Why Steward Leadership is the Answer
Amidst all the headlines about geopolitics, climate change, and rogue technology, another megatrend has been silently developing: the naked economy.
Universal connectivity and powerful AI are making everything radically transparent, where the actions of businesses, governments, and individuals are increasingly visible. In this environment, consumers cancel irresponsible organizations, and trust becomes the key driver of value creation.
To maximize profitable growth and business longevity, companies must earn their returns by solving socio-environmental problems. The winning strategy therefore is steward leadership―doing well by doing good.
Urgent and compelling, Maximum Purpose, Maximum Profit shows that in this brave new world, pursuing profitable sustainability will create sustainable profitability.
Sustainable Sustainability
The good news is that everyone is talking about ESG.
The bad news is that everyone is talking about ESG. Comment end
The cry for a more inclusive form of capitalism is growing. But the irony is we are using the same tools that caused the excesses of shareholder capitalism―incentives and regulations―to drive responsible behaviour.
Open Source Leadership
From taxi rides, hotel stays, car driving, to communicating and paying, everything we knew as normal has changed beyond recognition. To lead effectively in today’s brave new world, you have to question EVERYTHING.
Too Many Bosses, Too Few Leaders
The business world is in need of many things at the moment — an economic boost, a lower unemployment rate and a better plan to insure workers, to name just a few.
But the biggest void by far may be the lack of inspiring leaders. There is a growing and critical need for leaders who can show us the way out of the current downturn and point the way to a more productive future.
In his book, Too Many Bosses, Too Few Leaders (Free Press), Rajeev Peshawaria, CEO of ICLIF, former chief learning officer at Morgan Stanley and a veteran of dozens of blue chip companies, shares more than two decades of experience in what it really takes to become an exceptional leader — one who not only runs the company but creates a cadre of supporters who understand the company’s goals and missions and work to embody them every day. Part playbook and part an experienced guide through the world of leadership, this book has the potential to unlock the leadership potential inside those who not only lead companies, but run divisions, head up teams and work in roles across their companies every day.
Be the Change
In a world where information, capital, talent, and other resources are freely portable, the only x-factor for sustainable business success is leadership.
There are many misconceptions regarding leadership. Contrary to what many think, it is not at all based on one’s position of power. It deals more about how and what one creates while getting others to go beyond themselves and excel at things they never thought possible. Leadership comes after much self-discovery and cannot be taught. It is not something one is born with but is something that must be aspired for.
Be the Change goes deep into what a leader is and what you and your organization need to look into to foster genuine leadership. In particular, the book deals with the various aspects and issues of corporate governance, an integral part of the leadership journey. It also takes a look at the individual, the team, and then the organization for a progressive treatment on the various theatres where leadership can and does make a difference.
