Mauro Libi Crestani: Profit and sustainable solutions to social issues

Can a company gain a competitive advantage while solving social problems. In fact, that is what the most innovative and successful companies are currently doing. We need to overcome the stigma associated with profit-seeking behaviors. Profit is actually essential for enabling scalable and sustainable solutions to social issues. We need to stop criticizing profit-seeking behaviors of companies and at the same time attempt to channel some of those profits toward  towards greater social purposes. After all, the source of all philanthropic donations and tax revenues come from business profits in the first place.

Mark Zuckerberg started Internet.org. Did he start this company for profit or for the greater good of society? When we get involved into that debate , then we are at war with the very companies that can do good and have the money resources to help society. Facebook and Google in 2013 committed their companies to getting the 5 billion people around the world without Internet access online. Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook wants this project to be known as charity. He tried to downplay the idea that it is a share value and that his company gains also from helping others.  “ … focused on [Internet access] more because we think it’s something good for the world rather than something that is going to be really amazing for our profits.” But seriously, what is wrong if Facebook and Google gain why they bring internet to poor and third world countries? Third world and impoverished countries will have access to information that can help them in business and in agriculture and in finance and where they can have internet access to medical doctors. This is the right social issue  for Facebook and Google to take on, because they want to solve it. It aligns business and social incentives. At the same time most of the people who the companies help connect will become Facebook and Google users, and potentially drive incremental profit for the companies. We need to stop worrying whether these companies gain from such initiatives and accept that they have found a perfect way to use capitalism to do good.

Mauro Libi Crestani: How to prevents mental overload?

A leading psychologist claims whistling or singing helps distract the mind from trying too hard and prevents mental overload. Wow! The Dwarfs were right!  Whistling while you work makes you do your job better . The seven dwarfs knew from positive attitude and they knew how to get things done and enjoy it. They also knew the secret to staying calm. Far from being down to 'just nerves' , choking up  occurs when the brain finds itself with too many pieces of information to process, resulting in 'paralysis by analysis', argues Dr Sian Beilock of the University of Chicago. The same holds true when presenting a vital sales pitch, making an important golf putt or doing an acting audition. So you do not want to choke up and lose that sale, that golf game or that acting job, then  maybe you need to  whistle while you work.     Not just whistling. When you’re humming, singing, or laughing, it’s also difficult to be stressed. It puts...
