Vision
Struggling with the worldwide impact of economic crises and climate change, we should really ask ourselves some serious questions about the way we are leading our society and our organisation. There is a need for sustainibility in the use of natural resources and the treatment of nature. We will have to lead our businesses from quite another perspective. In this context, the four basic principles of the Earth Charter could provide useful guidelines.

In a world where people are becoming more and more assertive, while at the same time coping with the irrational aspects of life, values like power and logic no longer suffice. Different qualities, especially softer ones such as self-awareness and empathy, will make us more flexible and mindful in dealing with unexpected change. Then we can come to forms of leadership which are rather genuinely serving than controlling, allowing us to coach our employees in a diligent and inspiring way.
