Moral Leadership: New Leaders for a New Economy on Clubhouse

Description

Inequality is growing, democracy is under threat, catastrophic climate change looms large, and a pandemic has exposed yawning gaps in everything from healthcare to food security. What will it take to create systems with our shared humanity and the sustainability of the earth at the center? How do we solve the biggest problems of our time?

Most agree that most of our institutions have run their course. And while we don’t yet have all the answers, we do know it will take all of us.

New leaders are needed to imagine and build a new economy. Leaders who listen, who prioritize stakeholders, not just shareholders; who learn to partner across sectors; who, importantly, hold opposing values in tension and see the world not in either-or terms, but create new possibility sets at the heart of which is a quest for human dignity. These pragmatically idealistic leaders operate with a sense of moral imagination. They don’t just talk about inclusivity and sustainability but are doing the work to build it. And they’ve got the grit and resilience to see things through.

Moral Leadership: New Leaders for a New Economy, hosted by Jacqueline Novogratz, CEO and founder of Acumen, is a new club that will welcome leaders from business, civil society, media and government, all of whom are trying to solve our world’s most pressing problems. Some will be recognized names, some will be early in their journeys. All are committed to reimagining and rebuilding our systems for a better world.
