In this episode, we welcome Andres Roberts, founding partner for the Bio-Leadership Project, a place where a new story of leadership is growing and working with the rules of life: cycles, connection, regeneration, reciprocity and love.
The vision for the Bio-Leadership Project is to help a global ecosystem of people to grow this new story all over the world.
Five kinds of Bio-Leadership stories are redefining human progress. The work is about helping these stories connect up and grow.
- New forms of purpose and progress connected to nature.
- New organisational forms that work like nature
- New ways of working as ecosystems, inspired by nature
- New, regenerative models of organisation and society
- New cultures that reconnect to nature and the web of life
Andres, Ella and Javi believe that to grow new forms of leadership, we need to grow new forms of knowledge.
And to navigate complex and urgent times, we need to cultivate human capacities for resilience, connection, adaptability, systemic awareness, and care for things greater than ourselves.
Bio-Leadership is about working with nature to grow these qualities as individuals, communities, businesses and society.
This is a rich and emotive conversation. Listen to the end to hear an exploration of nature and a desire to rekindle that worldview of nature's our home as well.
Let's get into it. Start listening to the episode below.
