Leaders for Humanity

Leaders for Humanity with Simon Western: A Quest for Eco-centric Leadership Leadership discourses have significantly changed throughout the 20th century. From controller, to therapist, to messianic. Now it is time to re-enchant our life and work and move on from a search for greater “messiahs” towards a new, shared and sustainable form of 21st century leadership: eco-leadership. “A Quest for Eco-centric Leadership: Beyond the Church of Capitalism” - Leaders for Humanity with Simon Western, a celebrated writer, coach and teacher, CEO of Analytic-Network Coaching and Adjunct Professor of University College Dublin.

During our interview we always examine three critical questions: a) What is good? What is a good society? b) How can we craft good organisations? c) How can we as leaders or organisational citizens enable positive change? Our main intent is to develop critical thinking and deeper reflection by bringing together multiple perspectives - across philosophy, psychology, sociology, management science, complexity - in a shared inquiry into the nature of good organisations and a good society.

Bill Torbert, a Professor emeritus known for his frameworks on Action Inquiry, explores profound themes of leadership and transformation. He emphasizes the art of self-reflection and interdependence as vital for growth. Torbert discusses the rarity of advanced action logics, the importance of play in development, and the value of communities in fostering principled action. He challenges conventional practices like performance reviews and advocates for continual feedback and ethical action, highlighting how finite life heightens our sense of purpose.
