Douglas LaBier, a psychologist and psychotherapist, writes a nice article on the rise of “the common good” and how it will transform our world.
From the article:
By the “common good” I’m referring to a broad evolution beyond values and actions that serve narrow self-interest, and towards those guided by inclusiveness — supporting well-being, economic success, security, human rights and stewardship of resources for the benefit of all, rather than just for some.
The rise of the common good reflects a sense of global citizenship and an obligation to be a good ancestor to future generations who inhabit this planet. In fact, it embodies behavior and policies that fit the needs for effective functioning — both personal and political — in our post-9/11, post-economic meltdown world.
Through our work in the arena of team and leadership development, we our part of this movement to transform the world and enhance the common good.
