Co-creating a new EBBF Knowledge Centre: Trust and Trustworthiness
Gary Reusche has taken up the task of creating the 10th EBBF Knowledge Centre dedicated to one of the pillars of successful enterprises: Trust and Trustworthiness.
This time we want to co-create this knowledge centre also trying to connect each of its sections to an application in our own workplace.
Gary will therefore offer us in each edition of INSPIRE a short part of his work, open it for discussion also offering us some questions that will hopefully assist us to right away own and introduce this concept in our own workplaces.
Flash News:
Reactions to this year's celebratory 20th EBBF annual conference theme offered by some of the 15 presenters you will enjoy interacting with there:
"Any agency whatever, though it be the instrument of mankind’s greatest good, is capable of misuse. Its proper use or abuse depends on the varying degrees of enlightenment, capacity, faith, honest, devotion and high-mindedness of [its] leaders" sent by Adam Ludwin a venture capital investor at RRE Ventures in New York.
"Leadership is about inspiring people to purposeful action, helping things happen that might not happen anyway. The best leaders are learning and developing all the time" John Scherer - America’s Top 100 Thought Leaders in Personal/Leadership Development according to Stephen Covey.
"At no time in the past has advancement and change been so pervasive, so scary, so fast and so unpredictable. Executives and managers cannot control the unfoldment of the future. However, it is the responsibility of executive leadership to find the future, inspire the organization to anticipate and respond to the future, and, to innovate for the future." Michael Winger

EBBF Profile: Elsie Maio - Values Visionary Sparking Integral Change in CEOs and Self (Part 2)
It is one thing to have corporate policies that specify that social impact must be taken into account in all investment choices, and quite another for the company's leaders in their heart to say, "As a human being, I'm going to evaluate with my company and employees the decisions we're making and how we're doing it."
This is the second half of an interview with branding expert and business strategy advisor Elsie Maio in which she talks about how her work helping companies to put the well-being of humanity at the center of their business has led her to recast her own path and goals.

"Any agency whatever, though it be the instrument of mankind’s greatest good, is capable of misuse. Its proper use or abuse depends on the varying degrees of enlightenment, capacity, faith, honest, devotion and high-mindedness of [its] leaders."
Abdu'l-Baha
"Business must become agents of transformation. We have the resources. We have the talents. And let's be clear, we have the self-interest. Business has stepped up with both promises and programs. But if we add up all the great progress to date, it's only a mildly encouraging start. It's time to scale up. It's time to leverage our efforts through concerted, coordinated, cooperative global action."
Neville Isdell, Chairman and CEO, The Coca-Cola Company
