MONARCH

MISSION + BATTLECRY

The monarch butterfly is highly adaptive—going through four state changes in its short life.

It's uniquely motivated in its pursuit of multigenerational migration.

This story teaches us the power of both adaptability and the motivational energy that can be found in the pursuit of a purpose larger than ourselves—and our connection to that purpose.

HUMAN PERFORMANCE

Humans leapt to the top of the food chain not because we were the strongest or fittest, but because of our ability to socially learn and collaborate at scale. That collaboration is breaking down right now.

LINCOLN

Lincoln was a remarkable president not just because he led us through the civil war, but because he built his cabinet with people who had dissenting opinions. Most leaders look to fill their teams with people who agree with them. Lincoln chose people who challenged him to see his blind spots.

If we want to get clear on our purpose, this is the kind of leadership we need now.
