In today’s world, successful business leaders must prioritize delivering societal value alongside financial gains. It’s no longer acceptable to focus solely on one at the expense of the other. This requires a willingness to view your business through the lens of an activist to understand its role and impact on the world.
This poses a significant problem for both society and business alike. Societal issues are increasingly becoming business concerns, requiring companies to respond credibly or face severe consequences. This introduces a new level of risk for business leaders and necessitates a fresh set of skills and capabilities.
There are leaders today at all levels of business with an activist mindset. They’re upending the usual dynamic where corporations are always seen as the bad guys, the perpetrators, or the cause of the many issues facing the world. Whether you are an experienced senior leader, managing your first team or aspiring to a leadership position, you will benefit from this webinar.
