Leadership Kernel No1:

💫 perseverance 💫

In these complex times, as we face a volatile environment socially, economically, culturally, and financially, I highlight the tenacity of one of our world’s great leaders, Franklin D. Roosevelt

In such times, there is fear of course. Inevitable. Yet, the arc of fear’s longevity and mental cling, is also effected by the strength of our own mental state, and perspective of the very fear itself.

As FDR said in his famous quote:✏️

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

How do we win over fear? Teamwork. Belief. Mindfulness. Courage. Togetherness. And moving forward; perseverance.

… “To reach a port, we must sail - sail, not tie at anchor - sail, not drift.”

What do these have in common?

The academy award Beautiful Mind winnings ….

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter arrives in Cuba for a five-day visit with Fidel Castro, becoming the first U.S. President, in or out of office, to visit the island since Castro’s 1959 revolution…..

Vice President Dick Cheney serves as acting president for a few hours …

Department of Homeland Security formed in the largest U.S. government reorganization since the creation of the Department of Defense in 1947…..

…. All the same year - 2002- as when LinkedIn was formed ! From scratch. Now, with 756 million people —- that’s more than all the people combined in the U.S., México, Russia, and the Caribbean islands!

Anyway, having been fortunate to connect with many interesting people, investments, and projects, I am grateful for LinkedIn, and just surpassed 17,000 followers. Thank you LinkedInand a wonderful staff, providing me with a very serious opportunity and professional growth.

Inching to “better”:

Predominantly Black communities, especially in higher-income neighborhoods of cities including New York City, Houston and Atlanta, saw the strongest growth in new U.S. startups during the pandemic.

(the Startup Cartography Project, source)

The research, using data from eight states, also found that economic relief packages passed last year were followed by a surge in business formations in the following weeks — even though the aid wasn’t specifically aimed at encouraging startups. The correlation is “striking,” the paper’s authors said.

What’s the greatest challenge in a recovery ? Inequities? Inflation? Asset bubbles? Housing inflation ?

I am Pleased to support the Musicians Treatment Foundation as a fan and bird member.

https://mtfusa.org/

The MTF assists in providing surgical and nonsurgical care for the shoulder, elbow, and hand injuries of uninsured and underinsured professional musicians so they can maintain their livelihoods and keep the music playing for us all. MTF is dedicated to fostering a world that cares for its injured musicians regardless of their ability to pay

On average, professional musicians spend over 90% of their time performing live on the road, away from personal and medical support systems. Injuries can arise at any moment from the repetitive intensity of playing instruments and from unexpected accidents.

With this in mind, we are a unique nonprofit – in design, scope, and breadth – that facilitates and funds upper limb treatment and continuity of care for needful musicians at home and on tour.

Take a look. And join the upcoming event (or foundation!). Thanks very much.

Stakeholder Capitalism - an essential focus.

Shareholders may not be the only ones seeing the payoffs of socially responsible investing.

Fast Company writes that workers could benefit as more large investors have started to advocate for employee rights and holding employers accountable for fair treatment and safety, especially after the shortcomings highlighted by COVID-19.

Shareholder activism on behalf of employees is not a guaranteed solution to issues like low wages or poor working conditions, but it could further the move toward greater focus on employee wellbeing, the report argues.

http://ow.ly/BQiV30rH6lK

The past year has seen significant developments that indicate a systemic shift toward responsible capitalism, challenging long-established assumptions about shareholder primacy.

Stakeholder capitalism has, in fact, been grounded in capitalism.

Commitment.

“There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when it’s convenient. When you’re committed to doing something, you accept no excuses; only results.”

Sustainability.

In the end, this really counts. Thank you

So let’s make it matter. Curiosity, respect for nature and others, and embracing the imperfections of our world.

As David Attenborough said, “An understanding of the natural world and what’s in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfilment.” Indeed ! 💭🪄🪙🌅🗿

Alan Murray - spot on as to and it’s essential timing now, and ongoing.
.. “for those still skeptical about the turn toward stakeholder capitalism, there’s some new research out by three professors from Harvard, Stanford and University of Texas, looking at how companies behaved toward employees during the pandemic..{ their conclusion } is that companies that had made commitments to new stakeholder model “were more humane toward their employees,” says Ethan Rouen, one of the coauthors. They took actions that companies in similar financial positions didn’t. “The commitments were credible.”
