The Power of Collaboration & Speaking Truth to Power with GORDON LAMBERT & BRUCE PIASECKI

I think curiosity is one of those traits of anyone involved in the change realm that takes you always to the right spots, like you're going to be in a learning mode, you're going to be in a collaborative mode because of that desire to learn more. And it does keep you humble. You know, arrogance is the enemy of the good. And you never want to think that you have all the answers or that it's just a case of talking louder with better PowerPoints, that you're going to convince everyone as to why you're right and they're all wrong. You know, I use the phrase, listen and respond versus declare and defend. And I've seen too many leaders over time that are in the declare and defend mindset and they're very closed down because they're smarter than everyone else. They don't need advice. We see it in leadership and lots of places in society nowadays.

I concluded that stress is good for a creative person and that we, in fact, flower under stress. We bloom under stress: A father's death. He would never finish this thought path because he had so little to go on. For decades, he had blamed everyone he knew for his father’s death. Having been raised by his grandmother, mother, and sister, he had to invent his masculinity—from muscle and bone to making his place in a world of markets.

I have this need to stay curious. I think all of these big problems have solutions, and they're never one solution. It's always a collection of solutions. And therefore, I think we need a collection of people and ideas, so that's a great thing to keep in mind.

Think about how do they deliver value to all of those constituents rather than just their shareholders. So they will create the more successful long-term companies, especially generationally, as Gen X and millennials care more and more about mission and purpose.

This idea of greenwashing or now what we can call woke-washing and that ESG goals are typically held within PR groups, within companies. They just talk about what they're doing versus being held accountable. I think we will continue to see that paradigm shift towards accountability, transparency of companies doing the right thing.

I'm impressed every day when I see next generation leaders, entrepreneurs, and educational institutions focus more on this idea of social entrepreneurship. That they're really embedding some of these core values into the next generation of leaders.

Each day you wake up you make decisions that shape your own fate, your ascent, position, your own creativity. I like to think of it as fate is a personal construct. When I was at Cornell they had me teach an Emerson essay called “Freedom and Fate” where he said that fate was so overwhelming in some traditions that it’s as though we were each involved in a shipwreck and we were each thrown off the ship and all we had a chance to do was look at each other. I’ve come to believe is that not only is the future near you can design your own life.

I would like them to know just how powerful they are, that they have the power to shape the world. At some point, I realized that the world is produced. The world is designed and produced, and since we designed and produced it, we can redesign it. And you can play a part in designing it. You can play a part in that production. It doesn't have to happen to you. And I think, for too many people, too much power and too much control is concentrated in too few hands. People need to have the power to control and design their own life.
