The ‘Foundation’ aspect of Global Leadership

Last week I was privileged to attend a Melbourne ‘pilot’ of The Funding Network. This organisation runs regular events at which interesting young charities present themselves, and everyday donors from all backgrounds contribute to furthering the missions of those charities. The evening raised over $68,000 for the four groups that presented. It further served to remind me of the amazing amount of generosity that exists at all levels of our community. It also caused me to reflect on what we envisaged when we set up Global Leadership Foundation in 2003, and where we are today in achieving this.

Building a stronger future with social sustainability

The leadership experiences we have participated in during 2012 with the Tetepare Descendants Association, and with Frank Ansell and Sue Gregory in Central Australia, have been strong reminders of the role ‘social sustainability’ has played, and continues to play, in indigenous cultures. Social sustainability can be defined in various ways but the way we look at it is: a commitment to the generations that follow us that they will have a better life on this planet. A better life not in a material sense but in terms of their access to and benefit from the wisdom, insights and knowledge of those who have come before them.
