Guests: Henry Mintzberg & Jonathan Gosling, Co-Founders of One Planet Leadership

What does it take to rebalance society and change the world?

Guests Henry Mintzberg and Jonathan Gosling have studied this for decades, and share both the issues and the solutions for rebalancing society. It may be difficult for us as leaders – humans tend to be comfortable with the status quo – but the very survival of our species could be at stake.
