The world is becoming more complex every day. This is the tendency of a healthy natural universe. It is also a tendency of the human mind — to grow in its ability to continue to adapt to the world. But adaptation to complexity alone will not help us do the great things we dream of. The other half comes from the character in which we adapt to this complexity.

A company is a community of people, guided by leaders, that have a shared mission. Sometimes that shared mission gets lost and we end up working in companies simply to survive. But the company of the future will not operate this way. There will be total alignment between values and survivability. All future companies will be driven by values defined by and with their communities.

“I want you to be first in love. I want you to be first in moral excellence. I want you to be first in generosity.” — Dr. King
