I coined the term Enron Environmentalism to explain the gap between what people say they value about the environment and what they do.

018: Joshua Spodek: Enron Environmentalism

Do you care about the environment but feel “I want to act, but if no one else does, it won't make a difference,” and “But if you don't solve everything, it isn't worth doing anything”? We are the antidote! You're not alone. Hearing role models overcome the same feelings to enjoy acting on their values creates meaning, purpose, community, and emotional reward. Want to improve as a leader? Bestselling author, 3-time TEDx speaker, leadership speaker, coach, and professor Joshua Spodek, PhD, MBA, brings joy and inspiration to acting on the environment. You'll learn to lead without relying on authority. We bring you leaders from many areas — business, politics, sports, arts, education, and more — to share their expertise for you to learn from. We then ask them to share and act on their environmental values. That's leadership without authority — so they act for their reasons, not out of guilt, blame, doom, gloom, or someone telling them what to do. Guests include: <ul><li>Dan Pink, 40+ million TED Talk views</li><li>Marshall Goldsmith, #1-ranked leadership guru and author</li><li>Frances Hesselbein, Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree, former CEO of the Girl Scouts</li><li>Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning author</li><li>David Allen, author of Getting Things Done</li><li>Ken Blanchard, author of The One Minute Manager</li><li>Vincent Stanley, Director of Patagonia</li><li>Dorie Clark, bestselling author</li><li>Bryan Braman, Super Bowl champion, Philadelphia Eagle</li><li>John Lee Dumas, top entrepreneurial podcaster</li><li>Alisa Cohn, top 100 speaker and coach</li><li>David Biello, Science curator for TED</li></ul><hr> Hosted on Acast.
