Extract -
Public respect for leaders has hit an all-time low as global recession strikes. But Sir John Whitmore, a key advocate of business coaching, believes the route to a new, more responsible future lies within us and calls for an evolutionary shift from quantitative growth to qualitative contribution.
The crisis itself could make this task easier by provoking business leaders, and, I hope, a few politicians, to abandon some of their old assumptions, to question whether their motives are driven by greed, to rethink their life purpose and to develop a desire to contribute to the whole.
What I hope may emerge from this crisis is a realisation that endless quantitative growth is no longer the way forward and that qualitative contribution is a better option. This does not mean that businesses should not make a modest profit, but that people and planet should come first.
