What we are About
Leadership for All-Life
The One Earth Leadership Consortium is guided by an all-life orientation that respects the interconnectedness and protects the interests of all life forms on this planet including humans, nonhumans, and the Earth. Collectively, we aspire to create innovative ways forward, beginning with reimagining the purpose of business, models of leadership, and organizational value creation within a fully holistic context.
Elevating strategy, enlivening purpose, and building leadership capacity to benefit all-life
The state of the world is undergoing significant transformation and will continue to do so. The ecological crisis, social inequalities, and the degradation of mental and physical health must be understood as interconnected, and in relationship to the inadequacy of many existing models, policies, and systems.
Collectively, these are not distinct issues and cannot be properly addressed within the mindset that created them. Technological, economic, and policy strategies are required. As are fundamental shifts in the way we perceive ourselves, our organizations, the world and our relatedness to all of life.
This involves questioning the assumptions and stories we individually and collectively live and work by, opening ourselves to the possibility of change, and listening deeply for what is life sustaining.
Leadership, in this context, invites us to better know and understand ourselves and our organizations holistically; to learn and act in partnership with the natural world; and to create compassionate, resilient, and regenerative communities. Together, these are the elements of strategic leadership to benefit all life.
Working Together
As a community of practice, we focus on developing leaders with a holistic and all-life orientation who envision and inspire a regenerative future. Together, we develop multi-level engagements to enquire, explore, and build strategic leadership capacity for all Consortium members.
