Who do you trust? Who do we trust, as a society? We want to know more about trust and we are running a short poll to coincide with a wider UK survey - launching soon. https://epoll.me/v/ACShH6wa4rw

As Lao Tsu saw it, those who do not trust cannot be trusted. A poll asking how many people one  trusts isn't going to tell you much about trust.
Social enterprises, businesses which place the common good above profit maximisation, need to build trust by demonstrating that they are trustworthy . Klaus Schwab writes on the Profitability of Trust.

#‎Ferguson‬ ‪#‎BlackLivesMatter‬ "Allowing that some people do not matter, as things are turning out, allows that other people do not matter and those cracks are widening to swallow up more and more people. Social enterprise is the first concerted effort in the Information Age to at least attempt to rectify that problem, if only because letting it get worse and worse threatens more and more of us. Growing numbers of people are coming to understand that “them” might equal “me.” Call it compassion, or call it enlightened and increasingly impassioned self-interest. Either way, we are all in this together, and we will each have to decide for ourselves what it means to ignore someone to death, or not." http://www.p-ced.com/1/node/49

I can't think of a bette quote to end the week with as an entrepreneur motivated to build organizations that are focused on overcoming the mental barriers of vested interests for the greater good.

"Object whatsoever is possible, still the question recurs, "Can we do better?" The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country."

- Abraham Lincoln

#‎EvenitUp‬ ‪#‎Inequality‬ 'It is only when wealth begins to concentrate in the hands of a relative few at the expense of billions of others who are denied even a small share of finite wealth that trouble starts and physical, human suffering begins. It does not have to be this way. Massive greed and consequent massive human misery and suffering do not have to be accepted as a givens, unavoidable, intractable, irresolvable. Just changing the way business is done, if only by a few companies, can change the flow of wealth, ease and eliminate poverty, and leave us all with something better to worry about. Basic human needs such as food and shelter are fundamental human rights; there are more than enough resources available to go around--if we can just figure out how to share. It cannot be "Me first, mine first"; rather, "Me, too" is more the order of the day.' http://www.p-ced.com/1/node/332
