The 7C Leadership Compass

Joining and Leading a Collective Movement for Impact

In practical terms, this translates into:

• Use your leadership platform not only for your organisation, but also to advocate for systemic change at the level of your industry or society • Build strategic alliances with peers and like- minded networks (B Corp, social and solidarity economy, etc.) to pool resources and amplify collective impact • Adopt a stance of radical transparency by openly sharing your learnings – successes as well as failures – within the community, to accelerate the transition for all • Actively contribute to the collective mission of building a more inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy, recognising that your success is interdependent with that of the broader ecosystem • Redefine how performance is measured so that it reflects not only financial profitability, but above all the wellbeing of employees, the flourishing of communities and a tangible contribution to a sustainable future

The 7Cs go beyond personal development to become a true operating system for impact-driven leadership. They provide a shared language and a behavioural framework for leaders who do more than transform their own organisations – leaders who aspire to catalyse broader systemic change. By embodying the 7Cs, you align your leadership with the DNA of the movements that are reshaping the society of tomorrow. In doing so, you become a key player within dynamic ecosystems. Switzerland’s B Ecosystem is a pioneering example, alongside mission-led businesses, social and solidarity economy actors, and any collective working towards shared prosperity and resilient, regenerative organisations. Choosing this path means moving away from solitary leadership towards the co- creation of impact.
