It happened unintentionally, as if by accident: working in Africa, philanthropist Steve Killelea realized economics and peace are deeply intertwined.
Applying the business and leadership acumen that built his fortune in tech, Steve developed his eight pillars for positive peace. These pillars not only predict the fortunes of nations and quality of people’s lives, but hold leadership mindsets we can all adapt to bring similar stability to our own organizations.
Here’s what Steve, Mike Hardy, and host Maureen Metcalf cover:
- How old metrics of peace actually measured violence – muddying the underlying factors of truly peaceful nations;
- The eight pillars of positive peace Steve uncovered; and
- How these principles dovetail with the decades of research at Mike Hardy’s Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relatiions.
