Leaders for Humanity with Simon Western: A Quest for Eco-centric Leadership

Leadership discourses have significantly changed throughout the 20th century. From controller, to therapist, to messianic. Now it is time to re-enchant our life and work and move on from a search for greater “messiahs” towards a new, shared and sustainable form of 21st century leadership: eco-leadership.

The Leaders for Humanity series is part of the #goodorganisations project (for further info see https://goodorganisations.com) and intends to offer a critical dialogue with "wise" thought and action leaders related to key questions in the area of individual, organisational and societal transformation. Some of the participants in Season 1 are renowned researchers in the area of business ethics such as Alejo Sison, Alicia Hennig, Andre Habisch and Blaine Fowers; organisation and management scholars such as Henry Mintzberg, Stefano Zamagni, Bill Torbert, Bruno Frey, Haridimos Tsoukas, Paul Adler, Emanuele Quintarelli – and leadership thinkers like Bill Torbert, Carol Sanford and Simon Western.

During our interview we always examine three critical questions:

a) What is good? What is a good society?

b) How can we craft good organisations?

c) How can we as leaders or organisational citizens enable positive change?



Our main intent is to develop critical thinking and deeper reflection by bringing together multiple perspectives - across philosophy, psychology, sociology, management science, complexity - in a shared inquiry into the nature of good organisations and a good society.

We publish an exclusive set of recommended materials to the followers of the inquiry prior to each episode on the Good Organisations LinkedIn page and on https://goodorganisations.com/leadersforhumanity.

In addition, we publish opinion pieces and further reflections on our Medium page at https://medium.com/@goodorganisations.
