talking about leadership
what you mean by that?
šta time podrazumevate?
I think it's a crisis of conformity
Mislim da je to kriza konformizma
i vodimo ljude na isti način kao i uvek,
and lead in the way we always have,
to change our ways.
at that evidence.
that we're facing a climate crisis,
sa klimatskom krizom,
in the boardroom.
u sali za sastanke.
in the streets now,
koja marširaju po ulicama,
for their future.
za njihovu budućnost.
not just in the streets of France,
ne samo na ulicama Francuske,
fueling that anger.
the pitchforks are coming?
this is not sustainable.
da ovo nije održivo.
crises that are interrelated
i međusobno povezanim krizama
of trust we've ever been at.
najniži nivo poverenja ikada.
trust their government
tri odsto ljudi veruje da će vlast
down since then.
verovatno opao od tada.
new leadership actually looks like?
da izgleda novo vođstvo?
by a moral compass,
of having a social purpose --
posedovanja društvene svrhe -
to operate anymore
that contributes to society,
from that dialogue is a set of principles.
u tom dijalogu je skup principa.
zašto postojimo,
how we're going to do business
to solve these imminent crises:
da reši sledeće neminovne krize:
i krizu poverenja.
and accountability as our principles.
kao svoje principe.
of purpose is really window dressing --
zapravo služi da se zamažu oči -
people want to hear,
da ljudi žele da čuju,
the fundamental changes
momentum behind that.
sada traži odgovorno vođstvo,
for responsible leadership now,
to be around for the 21st century
da ostane prisutan u 21. veku
da razmišlja hrabro i holistički
courageously and holistically
to be part of the solution
out there who's doing it
is actually effective
some great leaders out there.
od najnovijih članova Tima B,
members of The B Team,
i velike prehrambene kompanije -
and major food company --

načine na koje posluje,
kada je postao direktor
that when he took on as CEO

into a B Corporation.
u SAD-u u „korporaciju B“.
that holds itself responsible
koja sebe drži odgovornom
on people and the planet,
na ljude i na planetu,
on their performance on all of that.
o svom delovanju u vezi sa svim tim.
courageous leadership,
we all need to hold.
koje svi treba da se pridržavamo.
when I think about companies --
kada razmišljam o kompanijama -
koja je ulagala u svoju zajednicu,
that invested in its community,
losing and getting sold.
izgubila i bila prodata.
that are global and community citizens,
koje su građani sveta i zajednice,
even useful anymore?
that it's risky, actually,
iz razloga što je u stvari rizično
the right thing now.
da privučete kapital.
you won't be able to attract capital.
opportunity reasons,
mnoge vođe rade pravu stvar.
are doing the right thing.

in positions of power.
na položajima moći.
every single one of us,
is to release that leader.
je da oslobodimo tog vođu.
global examples we have
svetskih primera koji imamo
called Greta Thunberg.
po imenu Greta Tanberg.
about our climate crisis --
u vezi sa klimatskom krizom -
in her leadership

šefovima država,
about leadership today,
kada razmišljamo o današnjem vođstvu,
to those in positions of power
onima na položajima moći,
greater responsibility.
nesrazmerno veća odgovornost.

u ovom trenutku.
hierarchical leadership.
da bi stvorile odnose
and more horizontal relationships?
a više horizontalni?
and I've long been passionate
i dugo imam strast
leadership is the way to go
uravnoteženo po polu pravi put
that has been shown to be more powerful,
za koji se pokazalo da je moćniji,
effective leadership style.
about how we close the generational gap,
kako da ukinemo jaz između generacija,
in the streets around the world --
na ulicama širom sveta -
„Nikada nisi previše mlad da bi vodio.“
"You're never too young to lead."
of those with experience,
onih sa iskustvom,
kojima je digitalno okruženje prirodno

is our cancer in leadership.
think they know it all,
to surround themselves
bilo više žena, mlađih ljudi
be more women and younger people
and have different opinions in general.
i uopšte imaju različita mišljenja.
in leadership still,
toliko prisutan u vođstvu
ne moram ni da ih imenujem.
And the problem with that --
doesn't unleash leaders in others.
ne oslobađa vođe u drugima.
we now need to come up with --
koja sada moramo da smislimo -
koji su nam potrebni.
we need to come up with solutions
da bismo došli do rešenja
civil society, young people, older people,

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Halla Tómasdóttir - Change catalystIcelandic entrepreneur Halla Tómasdóttir believes that if you’re going to change things, you have to do it from the inside. She infused the world of finance with “feminine values," which helped her survive the financial meltdown in Iceland and nearly made her president.
Why you should listen
Tómasdóttir's philosophy is simple: (1) the challenges we're facing today won't be solved by testosterone alone; (2) the world would be a better, safer, more sustainable place if we could infuse finance, business and politics with more gender balance; and (3) it's easier to change things from the inside.
True to this philosophy, Tómasdóttir co-founded Audur Capital in 2008, the world's first investment firm based on "feminine values." Audur was one of few financial companies in Iceland to survive the crash. Tómasdóttir has since been an active change catalyst, advocating for principle-based leadership and more women around decision-making tables.
In 2016, responding to popular demand (and a viral Facebook campaign), Tómasdóttir ran for president of Iceland. A woman in a man's race. Polls initially put Tómasdóttir as an outsider, predicting 1 percent of the vote. A few weeks later, against all odds, Tómasdóttir came in second supported by 28 percent of Icelanders.
