https://lnkd.in/gdnbDzyE "Can the joy that is so apparent in championship athletics be replicated in business?" Yes! I've played competitive sports throughout my life, and nothing has been more rewarding than the joy of winning together. The teams I played with that performed the best were the ones that had harmony, where we made an impact together and prioritized the acknowledgment of each player's contributions. I've also been fortunate to be part of a few exceptional corporate teams. When I reflect on the crew in this picture, what stands out about great teams is their ability to not just survive, but thrive together through uncertainty and risk, instilling a sense of confidence and resilience. So how do you do that? Be an inclusive leader and value the feedback from your team. Make teamwork a part of your culture and share the success and the fun. Celebrate your wins and acknowledge the players. Josh Wilkie Cari Perez Emad Al-Marzoog

Is the world better off because your business is in it? So at the moment I'm am doing the work for a qualification in sustainable leadership by participating in the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership course. The more and more I get to learn about and understand the global challenges facing business around sustainability the more I understand how very different business is going to be in the future. It's critical that business leaders are going to have to operate their businesses very very differently from the way their businesses have been run to date. There are so many opportunities for sustainability to be the core driver in all types of business and for those businesses to be radical in their innovation. Are you a business leader with a purpose? You can start from learning more about some of the issues which businesses face by attending Business As A Power For Good: B Corp Fest on Thursday 28 September 2023. I can guarantee you will walk away thinking 'I'm so glad I went to that event and I feel equipped to face up to some of the sustainability challenges and for my business to do so much more for society'.... Don't miss out and if you want to attend, please dm me for a special discount on the ticket price... https://lnkd.in/drqphXHC #sustainability #bcorp #bcorpfest #sustainableevents #sustainablebusiness #impactreport
