Rethinking the Role of Business in Society

Is there a link between business as usual and society?  This is the first in a four part series about 'Business as Usual.'In this episode, we look at the impact of 'business as usual' practices on society. Through three lenses ---industry consolidation and democratization, -the housing crisis and -the whirlpool known as wages. It is clear that sticking to the status quo is not sustainable for those who want a decent life.  The repercussions of neglecting the broader societal context in which businesses operate, from environmental degradation to social unrest, are all around us.It's time for a paradigm shift, where businesses don't just aim for profit but consider their entire footprint on the world. If this episode resonates with your heart, your soul or your brain, consider joining the 5Cs Community.    Ready to benchmark your leadership impact?
