I met my guest when he read one of my articles and then shared one of his own called An Open Letter to Business Leaders – Please Embrace Humanity. In a more recent article, he wrote these words: “I know what humanizing behavior looks like. It’s uplifting, empowering, kind, compassionate, and constructive. I also know what dehumanizing behavior looks like. It’s cruel, vindictive, petty, and destructive.”
What I already knew about my guest is that he gets it that how we use our power determines whether we create the conditions that lead to win/lose or win/win. In speaking with him in preparation for the show, I could see that we both recognize that most people want to create a world of shared power and win/win, but without prioritizing what it takes to fully embrace humanity, we fail to commit to, and do the necessary work for expanding human potential and bringing out the best in one another. When Everyone Wins is a show about creating such a world so that all people experience healthy belonging and significance and feel empowered, lovable, connected and contributing. By embracing humanity, we commit to help each other feel seen, safe, and reassured in our place and our relevance. Only then will we be able to create the uplifting, empowering, kind, compassionate, and constructive society that is described in my guest’s article.
Questions we may discuss include:
1. You shared we spend more money in the US (and elsewhere too) to destroy and/or replace humans than we do to uplift, empower and support them. What do you believe are the root causes of this?
2. You referenced the doomsday clock, the harmful impacts of AI, climate change scenarios, and even the # of workers who want to leave their jobs, all in an effort to raise the alarm about how humanity is at serious risk. Why is there a lack of urgency and what should be done about it?
3. What does it take to help leaders prioritize humanity, and to embrace it so that those they lead center their power, trust it and use it in kinship and care for one another and as the means to create a way out of such a collective crisis?
4. Most leaders think ‘embracing humanity’ where the development of people and their level of fulfillment and agency is a “nice to have” not an essential “need to have”. What should be happening inside organizations so that leaders recognize the crucial need to prioritize this for the survival of our world and all living people and creatures within it?
5. Many people act as if they would rather abdicate responsibility or avoid using their personal power. What are some next steps a leader can take to make embracing humanity a priority and communicate the urgency and necessity of empowering their people to see and respond to this too?
