Dov Seidman is a world-renowned New York Times best-selling author and CEO of LRN. Praised by Fortune Magazine as the “hottest advisor on the corporate virtue circuit,” Dov has built a career around the idea that the most principled businesses are the most profitable and sustainable. In this illuminating discussion, Dov shares surprising insights from his research on the role trust, purpose and values play in a world where machines can now out-think, out-process and out-perform us. According to Dov, the world is being reshaped and faster than we’ve been able to reshape ourselves, including our institutions, our businesses, and our leadership. The implications are profound and the imperatives are moral in nature. This episode is an amazing opportunity for rising leaders and entrepreneurs to learn how to survive and thrive in what Dov calls a "More Human Economy". The technological revolution of the 21st century is as consequential as the scientific revolution, he argues, and it is “forcing us to answer a most profound question — one we’ve never had to ask before: ‘What does it mean to be human in the age of intelligent machines?’” The answer, according to Dov, evolves around the one thing machines will never have: “a heart.” Please enjoy our conversation with Dov Seidman.
