What are the skills required at each level of sustainable Capitalism?

 IMO

Front Line Employees: Willing to learn, try to do their best every time, good attitude—it’s easier to teach skills than attitude.

Front line Supervisors: Technical knowledge of the hands-on jobs. Willingness to help out when needed, good coaching skills on technical things, Willingness to be guided by their boss, high standards of performance, doesn’t play favorites, trustworthy (competent, caring, consistent), understand that not everyone is upwardly motivated.

Mid Level Managers: Let go of “if you want it done right do it yourself” VABE. What are VABEs? Instead believes “you can get more done through others.” Good coaching skills, understands how to run effective meetings (agenda built on questions not topics), knows how to build a team, understands team phases, able to translate executive visions into team charters (see below), open to change and constant improvement, likable, comfortable with being in between upper and lower management. No sense of entitlement. Understands Career Concepts and that not all are motivated by promotions.

Executives: Good organizational architects, good strategists, respect for all below them as the Craftsmen who do the work, able to create robust and inspiring charters, understand the importance of organizational culture and managing at Level Three (see my website at Level Three Leadership ), articulate describers of mission, vision, values, strategies, poised, able to represent company to outsiders, let go of “maximize profits” as core VABE and accepts “maximize sustainable profits” as responsibility of every citizen and company. Sustainable = protect not abuse the Commons: air, water, soil, flora, fauna, and underprivileged. Understand the value of Experts, Spirals and Transitories, not fixated on their own Linear career paths.

Board Members: Experienced executive level successful track records, understand the value of teams, accept the citizenship of “sustainable” enterprise, rather than short-term eviscerating profits, able to select good leaders, love of building sustainable on-going enterprises, innovative thinkers, visionary thinkers, willing to give more than they take, build “net-contributor” businesses,

Investors: committed to sustainable enterprise over short term returns, accept the citizenship responsibility of protecting not abusing the Commons, understand the citizenship responsibilities of Capitalists and of building a sound, robust society.
