By definition, 'to regenerate' simply means to bring something into a renewed existence. Regeneration is a natural process of all living systems that enables growth & resilience. Without regeneration there could be no life. 

​

Recognizing businesses as living systems and part of a closed loop-system, the broader ecosystem planet Earth, is the core perspective of Regenerative Leadership.

 

The work design of a regenerative business takes the interconnectedness of all stakeholders into account. It is based on the understanding that only a business that cultivates a symbiotic system with life-affirming structures can be truly sustainable and create wealth on all levels (social, environmental, economic).

 

Thus, a regenerative business inherently replenishes and reinvests
in the underlying systems on which it relies.

​

That means to put the development of people first!

 

Much like a tree only thrives if provided the necessary nutrients, a team’s full potential can only be brought forward in a healthy business culture.

Continuous (self-)reflection, eco-awareness & whole system thinking are key to unlocking that full potential! It means to be brutally honest, to make yourself vulnerable and act from a place of "I don't know".

Regenerative leadership is humble leadership!
