2030 Leadership: A LinkedIn Show about all Things Leadership, Reinvention, and Innovation
hosted by Matt Hooper
Time is of the essence. We’re midway through the first digital revolution and have only eight years remaining until we reach the massively important 2030 deadline: the year by which we aim to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals and cut global greenhouse gas emissions by half.
With the right blueprint, it is possible to reinvent global leadership and meet our moment. This is what we offer our clients at Idonea, and it’s what we’re eager to share in this series of conversations. Join Matt Hooper as he speaks with visionary leaders from startups, corporates, and governments about what it takes to reinvent a diverse array of organizations from a position of strength.

Is the future of work in an office, fully remote, or hybrid? And should leadership encourage employees to strike a careful work-life balance, or bring their ‘whole self’ to work?
Two years since COVID-19 upended the way we live and work, we are still in the middle of a fundamental cultural and economic shift, and we don’t yet know how the story ends.
When I decided on the theme of this particular edition of 2030 Leadership, I could think of no one better to talk to than Marianne Aerni (she/her) and Corina Roobeck of The Zone Global.
In this week’s edition, we discussed how to center humanness in our work, the perils of being perpetually busy, and how organizations can be as powerful a vehicle for personal development as for professional development.
1:56: How does the work of The Zone center so-called ‘humanness’?
5:25: The value of showing up to work as your ‘full self’.
8:08: How has COVID accelerated pre-existing work trends? How has it created new work trends?
11:41: Advice for employers trying to shift their teams back into the office full-time.
13:23: The distinction between ‘doing’ and ‘being’.
15:07: Can you quantify creativity? How about serendipity?
18:48: The perils of perpetual ‘busy-ness’.
22:33: The value of time: Chronos vs. Kairos.
26:07: Is the act of innovating within a large organization best executed by internal or external teams?
30:24: Dreams and Details for the future of our guests’ organizations.

While support for a ‘basic income guarantee’ dates back to the 1960s, the idea has gained new, widespread popularity in recent years as we continue to shift from an industrial economy to a digital economy…

In this week’s “2030 Leadership”, I am excited to share one of the most inspiring conversations I’ve ever had…
To kick off our inaugural ‘Dreams and Details’ summit, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jim Hagemann Snabe, Signe Horn Rosted, and Murat Aktihanoglu. And while each panelist acknowledged that the stakes have never been higher, the opportunities for innovators dreaming of a decarbonized future have never been greater.
How do we reconcile the advances in renewable energy with the glacial pace of bureaucracy? And how might leaders from both the public and private sectors work together to advance our global transition to clean energy before it’s too late? We discussed all this and much more.
03:32: The role incumbent private institutions play in leading the transition to a decarbonized future.
08:51: Whether or not there is an ‘excitement gap’ on the part of the venture community when it comes to investing in climate tech startups. And is this era different from the era of ‘Cleantech 1.0’ (2006-2011)?
15:51: The transition to a ‘greener’ season in the realm of public-private partnerships.
21:52: If the last twenty years meant that every company has become, on some level, a software company, then does that mean over the next twenty years every company will become a ‘climate’ company?
29:09: How early-stage firms can solve climate challenges, when this industry has historically been so capital intensive.
36:43: Is the Russian invasion of Ukraine the ‘wake-up call’ world leaders need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels?
46:36: Dreams and Details for the future of our guests’ organizations.

Midway through the first digital revolution, executives are reimagining how their companies can benefit not only shareholders and employees but all stakeholders, and society at large…
This shift from ‘shareholder’ to ‘stakeholder’ is at the heart of ‘Stakeholder Capitalism’ – a concept that puts people and the planet at the center of the business conversation.
I’ve had the privilege of interviewing leaders in the Stakeholder Capitalism movement – from both WEF and selected partners – during a panel at our ‘Dreams and Details’ summit: Emily Bayley, Head of ESG – Private Sector at World Economic Forum; Mary Karol Cline, Senior Policy Advisor at EY;and Lawrence Di Rita, Head of Global Public Policy & President, Greater Washington D.C., Bank of America.
Have a look at this video for insights covering the whole bandwidth from the background and concept of stakeholder capitalism, to how to make it measurable and to why leaders simply have to adopt that mindset. Enjoy!

In this video, Shai Tamary and I sat down with corporate transformation leader Greg Larkin, author of This Might Get Me Fired and founder of Punks & Pinstripes…
We discussed the ‘revving engine’ of intrapreneurial anxiety, whether or not legacy leaders are in their own way, and the four obstructionist personas in any large organization. This was a wildly insightful conversation.
Here’s what you can expect to hear about in the conversation:
00:28 – The ‘Revving Engine’ Of Intrapreneurial Anxiety
04:22 – Falling In Love With The Innovation Problem
06:19 – Are Legacy Leaders In Their Own Way?
08:03 – Is Corporate Innovation an Oxymoron?
13:08 – The Four Obstructionist Personas: The Skeptic, The Cop, The Traditionalist, and The Territorialist
16:37 – What Kind Of Impact Can An Intrapreneur Have In The ‘Real World’?
23:05 – Dreams And Details for 2030

The two great challenges of our time are climate change and the steady erosion of democracy worldwide…
While leaders in the business community have made strides in the fight to build a more sustainable world, the rise of autocracy often proved too contentious an issue for most private sector executives to address publicly. That is, until the invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, which inspired an astonishing number of companies to cut ties with Russia.
Justin Hendrix, the CEO and Editor of Tech Policy Press, works at the intersection of business, technology, and democracy, and Shai Tamary and I could not think of a better guest to discuss how leaders–from executives to policymakers to activists–can ensure democratic values in their products, services, and missions.
I learned a ton from this conversation. I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as we all enjoyed having it.
