The book “The New Generation Enterprise” demonstrates through the experiences of 250 leaders across 30 countries that a company’s managerial approach and mission are inherently linked. NextGen organizations align their purpose for positive impact with distributed authority governance, enhancing autonomy, responsibility, transparency, and ultimately trust. This trust attracts and retains talent within a project that surpasses them yet allows for concrete influence.
Political actors in effect, companies are committing to improving society and the environment. They are today both the source, and probably tomorrow, the solution to the challenges of planetary boundaries. In this regard, social and environmental dimensions are systemically linked. And the carbon issue is just one aspect of this immense challenge of the 21st century. Without succumbing to solastalgia, we must envision and implement the foundations of new economic practices.
Senior executives, entrepreneurs, authors, all involved in initiatives with a positive impact on People and the Environment.
