Beyond your own legacy, what’s the impact you’re after?
What if we considered time beyond ourselves, into the 100 years that frames our life in both directions? From the cultural context that shaped you, to the society that will exist in 100 years that you’re participating in right now? Given that, what’s your purpose for being here?
We’re at a critical juncture. This is a very transformational time in history, with forces at play that we have never experienced before under any generation, and our very existence may be at stake. We have major problems right now across all levels of society, and they are very deep, entrenched and difficult to solve. Governments can’t do it, businesses have to rise up and lead the way. As business leaders, it’s our job to identify the problem we can solve, and go out and do it on purpose.
We have the tools and technology to course correct - it’s all in the doing. We have the capability to transform humanity into a better version of ourselves and to do so while still having a thriving lifestyle.
In this podcast, I discuss the value of hacking your purpose in time, by seeing the value of your actions through a generational lens. If we as business leaders are focused on generational thinking, what dreams may come, what are we capable of? Watch the innovation that comes out of this level of thinking.
