Leaders need to CARE
Leaders need to care for their people, their community, the people throughout their business ecosystem and our planet.
Months later, I was offered the opportunity to co-create a 90-minute dialogue with members of B Lab Germany during the Impact Festival (Frankfurt). Aim of this conversation among peers was to enhance the feeling of community among them. One morning as my colleague and I were in the process of designing the dialogue, I had a “Eureka” moment. All of a sudden, it was crystal clear that the topic of CARE was longing to be explored by the members of Germany’s B Lab Movement. A selection from Kassoy’s video served to introduce the dialogue. and set the scene for the ongoing discussions in small groups. At the end of the discussions, the top issue that the participants want the B Corp Community to be known for:
CREATE & CARE
My research which began looking at mindset, expanded to look at the impact of social fields to foster compassion throughout an organization. Inspired by these insights of these B Lab leaders, a group of us embarked to conceive a regional initiative in the greater Munich region to strengthen and expand a local community of CARE.
