Love this Jason. The idea of whole brain leadership is vital in the VUCA world we now live in. Accenture’s work in this area back in 2019 found that 89% of current C-suite leaders have received left-brain dominated training—science, data, engineering etc. So little surprise then that leadership can lack right-brain empathy etc. And putting this into a more specific field, ESG compliance is left-brain dominated. But compliance isn’t going to change the world. Sustainable leadership for wider systems thinking, sustainable transition and innovation against nature/biodiversity loss requires much greater empathy and creative thinking from right-brain / whole brain.
