The Key – How Corporations Succeed by Solving the World’s Toughest Problems
In The Key, Gratton maps out how bringing resilience to a fragile world starts with what happens inside a corporation when intelligence and wisdom are amplified, emotional vitality enhanced, and social connections harnessed. She explains how corporations can leverage this inner resilience to help solve global problems and how a corporation s unique innovative, scaling and mobilizing, and alliance building capabilities are some of the tools for combating global ills.
