In rather interesting language given the theme of this podcast, Murray says \u201cit\u2019s not that CEOs have grown bigger hearts,\u201d but rather that they\u2019re pivoting in a pragmatic way. They\u2019ve come to understand that their organizations can only grow & prosper if they invest in their employees, serve their customers, support their communities, & recognize their responsibility is to help lift up all of society \u2014 rather than (in the words of JPMorgan Chase CEO, Jamie Dimon) \u201cignore or \u2018drive by\u2019 those who have been left behind.\u201d Few of us could argue that Capitalism doesn\u2019t require a major upgrade, & Murray has been sincerely persuaded that CEOs realize the historic blindness of corporations to social issues like climate change, the \u201cBlack Lives Matter\u201d movement, discrimination of all kinds \u2014 & income inequality \u2013 is no longer sustainable or viable. In his book, & in our conversation, Murray emphasizes that CEOs \u2014 the ultimate pragmatists \u2014 have simply realized they could lose their \u201coperating license\u201d if they fail to lead in a new way, not to mention ensure that it\u2019s no longer shareholders who have a say in how their corporations are run. Few people on the planet have had the access to CEO thinking as Alan Murray, & his perspective on the future of CEO leadership practices will surely leave you encouraged. One very interesting insight he shares here: it\u2019s vocal employees & customers who are holding chief executive\u2019s feet to the fire to evolve. And, Murray makes a compelling case that they finally are.","og_url":"https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/alan-murray-is-the-shift-to-stakeholder-capitalism-for-real\/","og_site_name":"Mark C.
