What Will be Your Legacy- part 2

After a couple of solid years of regular blogging, my posts have become infrequent due to a personal decision to take care of my sick mother. This was a full-time commitment that took up most of my time for nearly a year. I was able to continue my growth and learning during this time, and I am excited now to return to full-time pursuit of my dual missions:

1. To make the quadruple bottom-line of People, Planet, Profits and Purpose the common measure of business success.
and
2. To help leaders discover and express their deepest values, signature strengths and highest purpose.

I look forward to sharing inspiring ideas to co-create this world so badly in need of values-driven leaders who share this vision of business as an agent of world benefit.

The Enterprise of the Future

Have you seen the third edition of the biennial Global CEO study conducted by IBM? It is worth a read. The executive summary can be downloaded by clicking here. The findings make a strong argument for creating a high employee engagement culture.

8 out of 10 CEO's see significant change ahead, yet feel there is a huge perceived gap in their ability to manage that change.

Customers continue to be more demanding, well informed and socially aware.

40% are changing their enterprise models to increase collaboration.

Finally, the enterprise of the future goes beyond philanthropy and compliance and reflects genuine concern for society in all actions and decisions.

These conditions make a high employee engagement culture a necessity, not a luxury. If you want to know how to build and maintain a high employee engagement culture, you can download our white paper here.
