Co-hosted as always by: Antoinette Weibel and Otti Vogt The Leaders for Humanity series is part of the #goodorganisations project (for further info see https://goodorganisations.com) and intends to offer a critical dialogue with "wise" thought and action leaders, related to key questions in the domain of individual, organisational and societal transformation. Its main intent is to develop critical thinking and deeper reflection by bringing together multiple perspectives - across philosophy, psychology, sociology, management science, complexity - in an open and collaborative inquiry. During our interview we examine three critical questions: a) What is good? What is a good society? b) How can we craft good organisations? c) How can we as leaders or organisational citizens become good, and enable positive change? We publish an exclusive set of recommended materials to the followers of the series prior to each episode.

In addition, we publish opinion pieces and further reflections on our Medium page at https://medium.com/@goodorganisations.
