Imagine that society is a ship. And we are all together on this ship - the captain, the crew, and probably a stowaway or two.
The government body is the at the helm of the ship and it is their job is to keep everyone aboard safe. They must anticipate and avoid dangerous situations, address challenges, and offer solutions to create the conditions for inclusive prosperity.
The business community is the engine of a ship and determines how fast it can go. They tend to want to go fast. “Move fast and break things.” is the culture of Facebook.
If the business community were in charge of steering the ship of society, they would be tempted to push the engines as hard as possible, for as long as possible. That is prime directive of the profit motive. And even if we/they saw the potential for danger, we/they could be (would be) moving too fast to avoid them in time. People power the entire ship. The people working in the government, the people owning and operating the businesses. We the people provide goods and services. We the people enjoy them as well.
We the people are the waves and the wind as well.
We can help push the ship forward or smashing against the ship, like waves in a gathering storm.- Active Listening: We listen respectfully to the diverse voices of our community.
- Integrative Thinking We hold space for a wide range of perspectives to be shared, heard, and integrated.
- Strong Advocacy We use our voices to advocate on behalf of our community.
Everything else will follow. Youth, innovation, transparency, accountability, efficacy, results.
