What is business *for*? What's it's purpose? We believe businesses are communities of individuals, human beings, acting for individuals and for the communities and environment they serve https://t.co/ckSBv6D2Ft

What would happen if we could go beyond the mechanistic mindset to an understanding of the organisation as an eco-system, where leaders nurture a system that measures value in terms of connectedness as well as productivity? https://t.co/k2P2eQolDp

"One of the reasons corporations have become really dull and terrible places is we've forgotten why we joined - to go and achieve more than we could individually... to do more than we could individually as a personal endeavour." https://t.co/Ag4E5pGbzM

Really important work. And surely it starts with just letting people - everyone - be themselves

We believe in a more human workplace. If you do too, we can send unbusiness-like conversations to you every week. Short, sharp, sweet - real. https://t.co/4wLBPCc4gb

Now let’s think about that for a minute... 🤔

[Meaning conference @MeaningConf]

Do Amazon warehouse workers need #gamification to lift morale and boost their productivity? Or do they just need to be treated more like human beings?

We spoke to Andy about financial services needing ‘something that amounts to a cultural transfusion’ - with people like him involved we feel confident it’s going to get it

Great advice on giving advice.

[Whitney Johnson @johnsonwhitney]

Love this advice from @thinkers50 nominee @LizWiseman -

When someone approaches you for advice, what they are looking for is validation, support, and sympathy. Remind yourself that they already know what to do. Your job is to get them to articulate it.

It's the things that make us human that make business better. Why can't we bring those to work? https://t.co/WIhOMYYyl8

What a fantastic idea 🌟🌟🌟

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

We rarely have politicians on the TED stage. But @NicolaSturgeon won over the audience at #TEDSummit last week. And she won us over with a giant IDEA that so many more countries should adapt. Must watch! https://t.co/bqVRmahkMb ...and if you agree, pls share.
