AEIOU leadership\npursues the UN\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals (5Ps: prosperity, people,\npartnership, peace, planet) and the business outcome (4Ps: people, planet, purpose,\nprofit). This is leadership for planet Earth. AEIOU is an acronym standing for\nfive words of indigenous people from five continents who carry timeless wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an AEIOU leader, I\nwant employees to be happy, engaged, healthy, knowledgeable, fun and to find\nmeaning in their work. I also understand work as a platform for fulfilling my\nmission and that of my colleagues since I also contribute to the well-being of\nthe community. I wish to ensure decent conditions for our descendants to\ncontinue living on this planet. I am aware that profit is the result of the\npursuit of sustainable success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am guided by the 5\ndimensions of AEIOU leadership:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. RELATIONSHIPS: Relationships are what make up our\nreality. My inner world expresses itself in the outside world, while developing\nrelationships with colleagues, business partners and other stakeholders of the\norganisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. MISSION: I understand and respect my personal\nmission and the mission of the organisation. I act in harmony with them and\nalso design the work of my colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. RESPONSIBILITY: I am aware of the responsibility\nfor successful business and also of our wider responsibility for prosperity,\nwhich extends to being responsible for life on our planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. INTERCONNECTION AND INTERDEPENDENCE: I am aware of\ninterdependence and interlinkages, and that each of my decisions and actions impacts\nothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. LOVE: I strive to lead with the energy of love for everything. Love is expressed through respect, encouragement, support, nurturing, compassion, inspiration and excitement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aroha<\/strong> is a Maori word for love, eb<\/strong> is a Mayan word for the path that connects us all, ikigai<\/strong> is a Japanese word for meaningful life, oikos<\/strong> is a Greek word for responsibility for home and property, while ubuntu <\/strong>is an African word for humanity. These are five words that the indigenous people from five continents teach us. This timeless wisdom, condensed in the acronym AEIOU, represents a universal collection of five dimensions of heartfelt leaders all around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" AEIOU leadership pursues the UN\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals (5Ps: prosperity, people, partnership, peace, planet) and the business outcome (4Ps: people, planet, purpose, profit).
