Recommendation

Organizational change expert Lynda Gratton acknowledges the widespread distaste for corporations. However, she encourages society to rethink this attitude and to solicit involvement from large corporations – the only entities that can viably address global issues effectively. getAbstract recommends Gratton’s well-structured, contrarian report to policy makers, corporate leaders and global problem solvers.

Take-Aways

  • Governments don’t have cross-border jurisdiction required to tackle global issues such as climate change effectively, and individuals and NGOs don’t have the necessary resources, tools or skills.
  • By engendering resilience at the organizational, community and global levels, large corporations can viably achieve lasting change.
  • At the organizational level, corporations can build resilience among their employees by “amplifying intelligence and wisdom,” “enhancing emotional vitality,” and “harnessing social connections.
