The world is in chaos and our lives are overwhelmingly complex. What we’re missing is a developmental perspective that sees rapid change as opportunities for growth on a personal and collective level.

Deeper employee engagement can be found in a new BPM: belonging, purpose and meaning. The companies that are succeeding tap into our deeper social and emotional needs, creating authentic work cultures where employees can bring their whole selves to work.

Generation Y are fast becoming the majority in the workplace, and women are breaking through the glass ceiling. It’s only by understanding their values and needs that we can create workplaces of the future.

Leaders who are wishing to inspire a shift in direction must be able to tell a compelling story of where we are going and who we must become. And it must be powerful enough to break through the inertia of entrenched work cultures.
