Today I was talking to a client about how difficult it is sometimes to be ethical when doing business. Although we all will agree that we want to be ethical, if you look around you will still feel very strongly that the most common and successful way of doing business is caring more about "me" than "us", with all the ethical implications of that.
But we are also observing how we depend more and more upon others... it is common today to have to deal with shortage of supply, shortage of resources... This shortage is a bless! It will lead us more and more to the best way of getting the most of every negotiation situation: 50%-50%.
I believe that being an ethical and empathic leader will soon be the only way to lead effectively.
Anne Lise Kjaer suggests we will see more and more women on strategic management positions at the 21st century company, as being empathic comes more naturally to women; in her words: people do not work FOR her, but WITH her. I hope the link to her video will work!
Best Regards to you all!
