We are pleased to welcome Paulo Alves of Católica Porto Business School as incoming Guardian of the GRLI. The Guardians steward the values and ethos of our work and ways of working, ensuring alignment with our core principles and guiding how we engage, collaborate, and create impact. #globalresponsibility #governance #stewardship

As we reflect on the busyness of 2024, we are filled with gratitude for the shared vision and dedication of our Partners and Associates. Together, we are poised to build on this momentum in 2025 and beyond. #AllGatheringMomentum #YearInReview #GlobalResponsibility

🌍 Highlights from GRLI’s 2024 Annual General Meeting - a preview🌟 On 4 December the GRLI community gathered for our AGM—a moment to reflect, reconnect, and align on our shared mission of catalyzing global responsibility. Our Chair, Peter Møllgaard, set the tone with an opening reflection on the power of collaboration and ecosystem stewardship. His remarks, shared below, offer a glimpse into the conversations that followed. Thank you to our Partners, Associates and Strategic Partners for stewarding this work and driving GRLI’s mission forward. Full recordings of both sessions will be available on our YouTube channel soon—stay tuned! #GlobalResponsibility #EcosystemStewardship #GRLI #Leadership

Pleased to have formally joined my first AGM at Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative (GRLI) during the new board membership announcement. It’s refreshing to see the power of community towards social welfare and making a true impact. Woxsen University is committed to the same via all its units.

This week the partners & associates of the Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative (GRLI) once again gather (virtually) for our Annual General Meeting or "All Gathering Momentum" (as it has been repurposed by the Foundation). Whilst it is very definitely the GRLI's AGM you will see on this graphic (borrowed and adapted from something that Giles Hutchins presented many moons ago - thank you!) that our logo is only one small but connected part of several pathways focussed on developing #GlobalResponsibility. At the heart of GRLI is a fundamental and thought-provoking question: What is global responsibility? From that flows even more questions: What does it look like in practice and leadership? How do we cultivate and develop it in ourselves and others? Holding these questions and helping uncover and build pathways that embody viable responses to it is our work. GRLI does not claim to have all the answers, but we are unwavering in our commitment to asking the right questions and to exploring them with openness and curiosity. I look forward to the rich conversations and the input that shapes the mode and direction of our work. We will post a recorded extract on youtube as per usual!

What qualities do we value most in leaders or leadership —and are they the ones we truly need? Karen, Armand, and Sarah recently helped spark a wide-ranging dialogue on leadership, power, and systemic transformation by bringing their own questions. Karen Blakeley raised following question: How can we sustainably place emotionally and spiritually mature individuals in senior leadership positions? Without this maturity, systemic change struggles to take root. Dr. Armand Bam provoked us further by confronting a hard truth: Why does supremacist thinking continue to prevail in institutions and societies? And Sarah Elliott Spencer asked us to dream bigger: What would it take to create conditions that empower everyone’s innate potential to build a positive future? These questions challenge us to rethink the systems shaping leadership, particularly those in Business- and Management Education. One theme emerged very clearly: The way we define and reward leadership profoundly shapes our institutions and communities. From prioritizing profits over empathy to rewarding self-serving traits, are we perpetuating systems that undermine collective well-being? We’d love to hear your thoughts. What systemic shifts do you think are necessary to unlock collective potential and ensure leaders are truly prepared to navigate today’s complexities? Let’s continue the conversation! 👇 Recording of the whole session : https://lnkd.in/ddPUvNbG
