Choosing

Your life is the sum result of

all the choices you make, both

If you can controlthe process of

choosing, you can take controlof all aspects of your life. You

LeadCap Beliefs

# Teaching how to fish is better than providing fish: Helpingindividuals discover their true potential would help them morein the longer term than any other aid. This way they wouldhelp themselves, as well as the society.

# Leadership is a decision, not a position: Individuals who

emerged as some of the greatest leaders had nothingextraordinary about them. Anyone could be a leaderirrespective or birth or living conditions, if willing to decide.

# Leaders breed more leaders: More individuals would embracethe leadership mantle, if they are made aware that leadershipis a decision. Hence, true leaders are those who nurture moreleaders, not followers.

So, What Is Purpose?

"Purposefulness arises only through the realization of an idea.

In a realistic sense, an idea can become effective only in man.

Therefore human life can only have the purpose and the

ordering of destiny that man gives it. To the question: what is

man's task in life? there can be for monism but one answer:the task he sets himself. My mission in the world is not

predetermined, but is at every moment the one I

choose for myself. I do not set out upon my journey

through life with fixed marching orders.

Leading What ?


59/68

www.LeadCap.org


Marblehead Letter

1) The social (and economic) divide: the ever-widening

gap between those participating in the increasingly

interdependent global economy and those not, both between

and within different countries. The so-called digital divide is

one dimension of this.

How long can 15% of the people get

85% of the goodies?


60/68

www.LeadCap.org


Marblehead Letter

2) The system seeing itself: What sorts of capabilities,

technologies, and infrastructures need to be developed to

help people better see how local actions impact extended,

interdependent systems that are invisible locally, as well as

the overall performance of the enterprise? How do we balance

autonomy with health of the whole?

How can we stop going faster while

dimming the headlights?


61/68

www.LeadCap.org


Marblehead Letter

3) Redefining growth: economic growth based on ever

increasing material use and discard is inconsistent with a finite

world, and finite capacity to dissipate waste. Yet, our business and

financial models depend on growth: if a company fails to grow in

revenues and profits, it is out of the game and others who embrace

growth will take its place. This dilemma may require rethinking

how growth can be brought into harmony with the natural

environment. Is there a way to reconceive growth in a different

sense? Is it possible to base healthy economies on continuing

increase in value created rather than on continuing increase in

material throughput? What are the implications of such a shift, for

business, financial markets, customers, and investors?


62/68

www.LeadCap.org


Marblehead Letter

4) Variety and inclusiveness: developing inclusion as a corecompetence in increasingly multi-cultural and diverse organizations.

Issues of diversity have been mostly seen as problems to be solved

rather than strategic opportunities. Genuinely embracing

inclusiveness is challenging. How can we develop the capacity to

confront difficult issues that most corporations have not yet beenwilling to talk about?

Who is the we? How do we move from

illness to wellness?


63/68

www.LeadCap.org


Marblehead Letter

5) Attracting talented people and realizing their potential:

developing commitment in a world of free agents and

volunteer talent. Increasingly, talented and educated people

have many options in their employment choices. Moreover, as

mergers, acquisitions, strategic alliances and diverse forms of

partnership continually reconfigure businesses, this makes

peoples organizational affiliations also more ambiguous. Against

this backdrop of flux and uncertainty rest unchanging personal

desires for friendship and identity with meaningful work.

What will attract people to commit and be

loyal?


64/68

www.LeadCap.org


Marblehead Letter

6) The role of the corporation: extending the traditional role of

the corporation to be more commensurate with its impact. (Is

there also the need to create a shared understanding of the

reality of the role of the corporation now?). How do global

corporations act responsibly in situations where economic power

effectively supersedes political power? How can global

corporations better understand what determines their license to

operate and their license to grow?How can they use their

visibility to be a more positive force in a complex world?
