(Actually, he doesn’t. He doesn’t even know we exist. But he totally endorses the role of purpose and leadership in responding to the needs of our contemporary society and so do we!)
Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum has spoken directly and inspirationally post the WEF meeting in Davos this year.
“Many people are living in precarious situations and searching for identity and meaning in a fast-changing world. They want to regain their sense of purpose. More than ever, leadership means taking responsibility. It requires courage and commitment to listen and honestly explain the breadth and complexity of issues, to proactively generate solutions and to take action based on core values”.
“There has to be a recognition that we are in unmapped territory, which places the status quo, and by extension leaders themselves, into question”.
“Ultimately, we are measured on the basis of our values, vision and actions. Leadership today cannot be built on privilege, but only on sustained and sincere efforts to earn trust, and trust can only be earned by serving society in a manner that transcends personal interests and produces tangible results on the public’s core concerns”.
