درباره این اپیزود
In this final episode of a three-part series on essential capabilities for a regenerative future with Robert Gilman, founder and president of The Context Institute. Robert and Jenny tie the first two episodes of the series together to bring you this conversation on collaboration.
We’ve all heard the term “omni-win” and talked about needed paradigms from zero sum to win for all. I don’t know about you, but we are tired of hearing that high level language without real tactics to bring that to life. This is what this conversation brings to you. Jenny and Robert discuss the “dominator hierarchy” mindset that leads to zero sum problem solving, where the strategy for success is to seek power over others. Rewriting this dominator narrative is essential for win for all outcomes, where all includes all life on Earth.
They also highlight the need to redefine success as win-win-win, and the new patterns of working together that are required to get there. This includes the concept of leadership as service, which I’m sure is music to most of your ears. As always it’s an honor to host Robert and share his 80 years of wisdom with you!
