Solvable New Works is a series of perspective-shifting conversations free and open to all. On February 16th, we’ll be joined by Rebecca Henderson to discuss Regenerative Leadership and her book, Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire. Together with Magnolia Moonshot 2030, we'll discuss Henderson’s view of leadership progress and setbacks in addressing what she describes as three truths: the burning of fossil fuels, concentrated wealth, and the weakening of societal institutions. Can leaders reimagine and implement a capitalism that regenerates living systems and supports democratic institutions while being an engine for the prosperity of all? Come join us to discuss the challenges and opportunities ahead through Henderson’s experience in boardrooms, executive teams, and research.
