Oscar Motomura | The Common Good and Conscious, Ethical Leadership

Quick Overview
Confused by the competition culture in his early years, Mr. Motomura  drew inspiration from a poem and came to realise that the best  entrepreneurs are those who search for the common good. Mr. Motomura  considers opposite of common good to be selfishness and individualism,  and that these qualities have evolved to be collective egotism nowadays,  generating crises. The Earth Charter, in Mr. Motomura’s opinion,  defines what the common good is. He stresses the importance to convey  the essence of the Earth Charter in participatory dialogues and allow  people to adapt the essence to their local contexts rather than focus on  the letter (meaning the detailed of words). On leadership, Mr. Motomura  talks about being conscious about the reality in which society operates  today. Since systemic problems require systemic solutions, leaders are  advised to be courageous, to elicit participation of enlightened  citizens for the collective creativity, and be “three-fold strategic” in  the collective movement towards the common good.
