Thriving: The Breakthrough Movement
Join me, Prof Wayne Visser, for inspiring conversations with leaders in the breakthrough movement to regenerate nature, society and the economy. Thriving is about going beyond sustainability to a net positive agenda of innovation and regeneration. Each episode is a dialogue with thought leaders and pioneering practitioners, capturing their perspective on the six great transitions to thriving: how to go from degradation to restoration of ecosystems, from depletion to renewal of resources, from disparity to responsibility in communities and workplaces, from disease to revitalisation of health, from disconnection to rewiring through technology, and from disruption to resilience in infrastructure and institutions. We also explore what kind of leadership are needed to create a thriving future, and how organisations can take action to integrate thriving into their strategies, products and services. This is not about false hope or blind optimism, but we actively focus on innovative solutions and positive tipping points for change. The podcast builds on the foundations of my bestselling book "Thriving: The Breakthrough Movement to Regenerate Nature, Society and the Economy." I look forward to having you join the movement for thriving and welcome your suggestions for who I should feature as invited guests on the podcast. Credits: Host: Wayne Visser.

Episode 12
My guests this week are Claire Maxwell, John North and Anders Aspling, who make up the leadership team of the Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative (GRLI). They speak about:
- The critical importance of building trust and holding courageous conversations that help us navigate the liminal space between extinction and hope
- Why freedom, stability, regulation and imagination are some of the prerequisites for creating fair societies and the ability to flourish
- How constant emergence is necessary for thriving to occur at the level of me (the self), we (the others) and all of us (the system)
- Why governance structures need guardians of values, who are custodians of the ethos and spirit of the organisation
- How globally responsible leadership is a question to live and grapple with, and the test of leadership is rooted in action
