To you, what is an Ecosystem Builder? An Ecosystem builder is someone that observes or is capable to identify a problem as a system and contributes or provides a solution in a holistic manner.

In the soul of an ecosystem builder lives a servant leader working for systems change. As I recently wrote , society needs ecosystem builders now more than ever to help communities rebuild and recover.

Economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic is uncharted territory, and none of us really know how, when, and if things will return to “normal.” I’m on the hunt for any type of lessons learned from past experiences, from history (such as the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic) to more recent events. An interesting new Harvard Business School report, “Why Japanese Businesses are so Good at Surviving Crises,” looks at how Japanese firms dealt with the impacts of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
