It is widely acknowledged that capitalism, as it has evolved over the last five decades, is no longer acceptable. Many of today’s global problems are directly attributable to blatant excesses of capitalism – including the glaring collapse of governance, which is virtually subservient to priorities of capitalists in most democracies and autocracies. Politicians and capitalists are the uncontested beneficiaries of most policy frameworks, often with irreversibly adverse impact on a multitude of global communities. Yet they believe that their perch at the top of global wealth and power indices is their legitimate entitlement and that they are neither responsible nor accountable for any collateral damages.

Ravi Chaudhry's Conversation with ExCo Group M.D. Adam Bryant and Dr. Anastassia Lauterbach “If I was to identify one lesson that can propel a leader from base camp leadership to the summit of exceptional leadership, that is the trait of “awareness”. That basically translates into the ability to face reality and leverage reality, to shape the future you can have rather than the future you may face by default”.

CEOs and Boards Can No Longer Ignore This High-stakes Issue Equating good compliance with good governance is a flawed premise. Good governance is not about whether an institution follows the laws or not; good governance is about what an institution does beyond the laws. It is time to change the narrative from corporate governance to governance of the corporation. Beyond corporate compliance to corporate character. Beyond making money to how money is made. Beyond corporate lobbying to corporate acknowledgment that society matters and nature matters, more than all the global corporations put together.

Ravi Chaudhry’s interview with a magazine in Europe. If I was to choose five traits that made it possible for me to experience this inherent resource of dormant wisdom and wealth, or for anyone else, who chooses to embark on this journey, these are presence of three C’s and absence of two A’s: Presence of Compassion, Curiosity, and Clarity, and Absence of Arrogance and Anger.

Jonas Salk, the discoverer of polio vaccine, used to say that “What people think of as the moment of discovery is really the discovery of the question.” Confined within homes or working with limited social contact and mobility, the leaders in governments and business are frantically busy trying to find answers to the avalanche of questions arising all the time. I wonder if we should spend as much time, if not more, on framing the right questions, first. Continue reading: https://lnkd.in/gR2ESt5/
2020 marks the beginning of a grand big reality show, in which each of us, over seven and a half billion, find ourselves thrust on to a planetary stage. There was no rehearsal, there is no script. We are by ourselves, trying to make sense of the successive scenes flashing across. How long will this continue? When can we go back to where we were? Someone suggests it may not happen. Perhaps never. The curtain falls. The next Act starts soon. The same Planet. The same actors. But nothing else is the same – at least not now. Many of us are getting resigned to political leaders strengthening their control and deepening the ‘recession of democracy’, while some others are figuring out how the crisis could make the world better.

What a tumultuous time it has been! Just when we thought we knew the answers to all life’s questions - we find that the questions have been changed. The business firmament we lived in, is gone for good. We can either let someone else design our "normal", or else we set out in earnest, to create our own new "normal." This article is an excerpt from the new book I am writing on “Leadership in the Post-COVID World”. – April 2020 http://www.ethicalmarkets.com/the-big-leadership-challenge-saving-the-human-species-by-ravi
Typically, a leader is a person whose thoughts, words, and decisions to act or not to act, have a discernible impact on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours of a large number of people around him, as well as on the trajectory of their future lives and livelihoods. But every leader is not a Responsible Leader. A responsible leader is one who fulfills each of the following three criteria: 1) She firmly believes that responsible leadership is not just being held responsible for what we do, but also for what we do not do. 2) She ensures that all the decisions she makes and all the actions she takes have a positive, sustainable impact on the lives and livelihoods of not only all the stakeholders in her enterprise, but also on society. 3) She is selfless in all her pursuits; she is guided not by ‘love for power’, but by the ‘power of love’. You cannot be a Responsible Leader partially. Either you are one; or you are not. If you are one, or if you aspire to be one, you have to meet the above criteria in entirety. In essence, a sense of responsibility leads to an implicit acceptance of personal accountability for everything one does or does not. In practice, the sense of responsibility of a leader reflects in her ‘ability to respond responsibly’, with sensitivity, understanding, and urgency. This ‘ability to respond’ responsibly stems from the DNA of one’s character. It is about winning trust and respect of others. For that, a responsible leader requires three distinct leadership traits: a) Integrity - It starts with keeping the small promises you make to yourself, b) Transparency – not merely of her actions, but also of her thoughts, and c) Compassion - A feeling of unconditional concern and love for others; it is the wisdom of the heart. In the final analysis, successful leaders create and generate ‘means to live”; whereas successful responsible leaders also evolve and live with ‘meaning in life’. Note: These comments are based and derived from Ravi Chaudhry’s writings and books: Quest for Exceptional Leadership: Mirage to Reality (Sage,2016), and his forthcoming book on Democracy and Governance. http://www.ravichaudhry.com/
