Do be NAIVE! Join me and my guest Joshua Berry, the Managing Director and Co-Founder of Econic, an innovation, transformation, and strategy consulting company and Certified B Corporation and author of Dare to Be Naive: Thinking Bigger to Create Business Success and Joy. All management decisions and systems are built on assumptions about human nature. Some of the most impactful, successful leaders today embrace a chosen naiveté. In this episode we explore the intersection between the desire many leaders have to use business for good, and what keeps some of those leaders from acting on those beliefs. As the challenges we face in business become increasingly more complex, the transformative power of doing good in business creates a flywheel effect that impacts both Return on Investment (ROI) and Ripples of Impact (ROI). Joshua challenges business leaders to think bigger and more intentionally to discover the expansive value of using business for good. (joshualeeberry.com) (econic.co)
