| Radical Optimism |
As you all know, one of my intimate convictions is that each of us can contribute to make the world a better place !
Not by participating to the latest think tank on the topic, but by truly engaging oneself in action.
Business (the corporate world) is one of the key actors in making the world a better place, together with governments, NGO's, charities, universities, churches etc...
This is why I created in 2012 the first edition of an annual event : INSEAD Essentials.
Last year's was an enormous success with hundreds of participants and superb panel of speakers. You can watch highlights there: http://vimeo.com/59561402 and all speeches on our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNlslO92BcA
The next INSEAD Essentials will be held in Paris on September 12th in the evening, and I can only encourage you all to register and attend. Early bird booking is now open until August 12th on: http://inseadessentials2-es2.eventbrite.fr/
The theme is of course again "How to make the world a better place" but also focusing on the leadership attitude to do so, i.e. "How to be radical optimists".
Radical optimism of leaders is certainly the number one driver of emotion, engagement and action into delivering a better future to the next generation.
Many emblematic leaders from all horizons have accepted to speak about their engagement, their actions, and their optimism. Let us thank them:
