Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Dr. Melanie van de Velde discuss the following:
- Why is your book important: What is missing in the way business is currently dealing with climate change and our other major global issues such as pollution, poverty, rising inequality and social exclusion?
- How do Mozart, Einstein, Picasso and other geniuses relate to your message? What does it take to “lead like a genius” when it comes to sustainability and transforming our world?
- You mention in your book that purpose-driven companies are now outperforming their competitors, why is that?
- You state in the book that when it comes to impact initiatives “doing something” isn‘t always the best option. Why is that?
- With the world always in a seemingly turbulent state how do you feel about the future?
- Where do you see the biggest opportunities for impact strategies?
