In an ideal world, i am imagining, in the businesses of the future, you have people who are doing jobs that they love. And so if we're bringing ut potential in everyone, this then means that we're beginning to head to businessis where it is in allignement with somebody's best potential. So how do we get to having the right people in the right jobs when a lot of people seem to be like rabbit a the headlights alone? Well, i think what's really fascinating is that we're seeing a lots of people, especially in the states, but al son the uk, and elsewhere in europe, leave their jobs.
In a world where governments are failing on all levels, can regenerative business be the change we need to see in the world? Can the new wave of meaningful work create the sense of coherence and community and connectedness to the earth that we need to take us forward?
Nathalie Nahai is host of The Hive podcast, author of two books, international speaker and consultant with businesses big and small. Her clients have included Unilever, Google, Accenture and Harvard Business Review, among many others.
Her most recent book, 'Business Unusual: Values, Uncertainty and the Psychology of Brand Resilience', opens up worlds of business where profit is not the only motive, where psychological safety, meaning and solidarity are core business values and businesses are learning to walk their talk. In a world where government is failing so completely to address the many crises of our time, we spent an hour discussing whether business can fill that gap, and if so, how? When it is such a huge part of our lives, when the entire neoliberal model seems to be predicated on a cycle of wage-slavery followed by meaningless consumption, can work bring us back to balance with ourselves, each other and the ecosystems of which we are an integral part?
