But in spite of the sheer strength of the winds, the essence of the dunes remains the same: sand. In order to change the essence of sand, and transform the desert itself, water is needed. What water is to desert, intent is to character.<\/p>\n<h2>The MBI Principles<\/h2>\n<p>If a leader\u2019s character is grounded in an ethical and moral code of conduct, infused with a deep understanding of the MBI Principles, the end result leads to clarity of purpose, and outcomes that are tied to safeguarding the general public interest of all. I started this quest by helping my clients achieve meaningful results. It has culminated in the formulation of the MBI Principles. Over the course of my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/emotional-intelligence-the-secret-to-career-success\/\">career<\/a>, I have confronted the consequences of my actions, and forced myself to re-evaluate how genuinely aligned I was to living the principles outlined in this book.<\/p>\n<p>As I evaluated and examined myself, by assessing my strategy and culture, I found that using the filters of life, dignity, reason, wealth, and the future helped me redress my path. It eventually led me to develop my consulting practice based on the MBI Principles. With this book, I aim to pay it forward.<\/p>\n<p>When the MBI Principles are applied justly throughout the corporate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/designing-perfect-day-decision-making\/\">decision-making<\/a> process, they have the potential to become a driving force in refocusing an organization\u2019s mindset from short-term quarterly earnings into a broader and more balanced growth strategy; one dedicated to the cause of preventing harm and promoting good.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of my consulting career, I have met many exceptional lead\u00aders, yet few embody <strong>MBI Principles <\/strong>in its totality. I frequently get calls from senior executives who have been directed by their boards to find practical solutions to the ever-increasing onslaught of stakeholder demands; for a more robust plan of action regarding Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) behavior.<\/p>\n<h2>Jumping On The Sustainability Bandwagon<\/h2>\n<p>As many CEOs jump on the sustainability bandwagon, hoping to find an\u00adswers to pacify their shareholders, I give them this good-hearted advice: \u201cOnly focusing on tactical disclosure strategies is not going to cut it.\u201d That would be similar to simply slowing down your speed when you spot a cop. It is not just about obeying the law and not getting caught, but rather saving the lives of those in the car. Similarly, disclosing ESG policies and performance improvement statistics to pacify investors is not going to redress the root of the problem.<\/p>\n<p>A vast percentage of the workforce, especially the younger generation, is growing wary of what our free enterprise system has evolved into. To rebalance the derailed free enterprise system, we need our leaders to be driven by a higher-level of consciousness; whereby they undertake sincere self-reflection to rebalance their own psyche, so that they attain the right wisdom, courage and temperance in dealing with some fundamental orga\u00adnizational and operational issues, redressing the rise in extreme inequity, resource scarcity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/survey-94-of-americans-believe-climate-change-is-happening\/\">climate change<\/a>, waste and pollution, destruction of eco\u00adsystems, and the loss of biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p>I firmly believe that corporations can be a force of good for society. We already see many successful examples outlined throughout the chapters, such as Chobani and Patagonia.<\/p>\n<p>There are signs of many other businesses wanting to start anew as well. At the 2020 World Economic Forum in Davos, the central theme echoing through the halls was the urgent need for business leaders to take up stakeholder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/the-instabilities-of-capitalism\/\">capitalism<\/a>. The need for companies to invest in their work\u00aders, while taking care of their customers, supporting their communities, and protecting the planet, has never been more pronounced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MBI <\/strong>enables this agenda of change. It can be implemented by taking baby steps towards a future of principled inclusion that safeguards <strong>life<\/strong>, pre\u00adserves <strong>dignity<\/strong>, upholds <strong>reason<\/strong>, protects <strong>wealth, <\/strong>and safeguards <strong>future <\/strong>generations.<\/p>\n<p>Engendering a balance in capitalism will require recalibrating organiza\u00adtional intent. That goal requires a deep commitment to both behavioral psychological, and structural level reformation. It necessitates profound transformational changes to the status quo business models, product port\u00adfolios, and practices across all enterprises. PepsiCo\u2019s PwP transformational initiative discussed in Chapter Two, took former CEO Nooyi and her team 10 years to implement. Such transformations are massive efforts designed to systematically realign the entire organization to its purpose. Even Wall Street is taking notice. It is no surprise that asset management firms such as BlackRock, a Wall Street powerhouse and holder of seven trillion dollars in global funds, is advancing an agenda of corporate sustainability and in\u00advestment stewardship.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a Certified Management Consultant (CMC), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/abraransari\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Abrar Ansari<\/a> has worked with Fortune 500 company executives serving a diversified portfolio of clients in energy, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and agribusiness sectors for over 29 years.
