Post by on

The global response to the universal threat of COVID-19 has created unprecedented conditions for personal, family, community and social transformation.  The massive and rapid emergency response has obliterated old notions of what can or can’t be accomplished.  Actions that were previously seen as impossible are now shown to be possible.  It is certain that, going forward, humanity will face new unprecedented challenges that will afford us opportunities to further evolve our capacity for speed and scale solutions.  Throughout our time together, the safety and radical generosity of our Conscious Leadership Guild culture will support us in exploring and integrating the unique ways of being that are just now becoming possible through our shared experience with this global pandemic.

When Leadership Pollutes the World

In his nearly 8 years as CEO for Volkswagen, he nearly doubled the company’s turnover to €200 billion, he conquered China, and won the race to become the world’s largest car manufacturer, overtaking Toyota and General Motors. With support from the Board, he won a power struggle with Chairman Piëch, pushing Piëch out of the game and securing himself an extended contract. On paper, everything looked like […]
