Value Recovery | "There Are Two Kinds of People – There Are Good People"
“And there are those who do not yet know that they are good.” This quote is from Mandar Apte, one of the panelists on my “Building Substantive and Collaborative Networks” panel at Sustainatopia in San Francisco earlier this month. In his years at Shell Oil at the intersection of Sustainability and Innovation, Mandar learned that you never know where solutions will come from, and you never know ahead of time who the person with the breakthrough idea will be. His advice: “Make a new friend every day.” And for those tackling climate change, make sure you’re addressing not just the external climate, but also “the climate within.” Your authenticity and your integrity are what make collaboration possible.
