What Exactly Are They Building?

from The 5Cs · host Charlene Norman

Business leaders and executives know exactly what power and dominance are.  That is the goal behind every scaling move for market share, for revenue and for profit.  It works until it doesn't.  There is a race in the geo political landscape that will suffer the exact same fate.  The pursuit of energy.  Whether fossil fuel or clean tech, both will indeed scale. Both will work, until they don't.  Because both are EXTRACXTIVE.  Both do nothing for planetary health.  So, why are we doing them?  Power and Dominance.  And who will win that race? Tune in for the better questions we need to ask.  Because simply swapping one for another comes with a complete set of different issues.  The 5Cs Podcast connects forward-thinking executives who are building sustainable competitive advantages while driving positive impact. Think of it as an exclusive network of leaders who understand that stewardship isn't just good ethics - it's good business.  Becausing addressing business stewardship climate risk and leadership together is in the highest good for all.  Connect with Charlene Norman on LinkedIn, find her at her website, subscribe to our Substack for strategic insights, or download the full series on Spotify and Apple.
