CEO superstar

Old time CEOs, maybe 50 years ago, used to talk kind of different as new superstar CEOs do.

They used to mention: be the first and best in the niche, be clever, outperform your competitors, welcome to the jungle, etc. It was a (vulgar) display of power and pretty self centered.

The new superstar CEO’s vocabulary has changed quite a bit. They use recurrently terms like: purpose, kindness, candor, openness, love, passion, collaboration and global responsibility.

How amazing is that?

Today, the richest man on earth knows about rocket engineering and he can understand the Laplace Transform.

Even more amazing, right? Knowledge and science grasping power over malice.

Also, many of them also are actively donating huge amounts of their fortunes into charity, and more important, into trying to fix some of humanity’s biggest problems.

In times like these, it always gives me hope. For me, faith in humanity is restored.

And now, it makes me think: what kind of human being will be the next generation of mega entrepreneurs?
