Personal Perspective: When leadership senses and prioritizes the needs of the community over profit, more effective, meaningful, and sustainable outcomes may result.
Excess focus on profit and productivity over people may diminish one's ability to be successful.Though I’ve always thought that I had a balanced view of the world, I’ve learned that not everything is determined by nations and organizations that make decisions unilaterally from the top down. Rather, I sense that—even more importantly—it’s more about a multifaceted community where people simultaneously inform and execute decisions from the bottom up.
This matters especially now because resources are scarce for many organizations, households, and communities. Those who spend excessive time, money, and effort focusing disproportionally on profit and production over people may find themselves continually struggling to make ends meet, get buy-in and participation, deal with health and behavioral issues, and even foster a sense of meaning in their lives.
Where we are falling short individually and collectively provides many opportunities for new endeavors that can be both profitable and impactful in a way that’s most nourishing to us now. More hedonism and distraction are not going to help us advance our lives in the ways that are most needed by the world.
