#77: Sander Tideman: Pathways to Genuine Conscious Capitalism and Finance

Sander Tideman joins my from his home in The Netherlands to discuss a wide range of subjects related to shifting the mindset and consciousness of business and finance towards well-being and what some call consciousness capitalism. Sanders and I first met at his home in Holland where we discussed shifts in economic consciousness with some of Holland's leading thinkers. We subsequently met at the Garrison Institute on the Hudson River in upstate New York at a gathering called Climate, Mind and Behaviour along with other leading economists, journalist, bankers and thought leaders like Paul Hawken (author of the Ecology of Commerce).

Sander Tideman is a leadership educator, social & sustainability entrepreneur, author and humanitarian, motivated by fostering the human capacity to address the unprecedented societal and ecological challenges of this age. Sander integrates insights from Eastern philosophy and psychology with Western science and practices of management, business and economics. He has held senior leadership roles himself, in many complex stakeholder fields, co-founded several sustainable enterprises, worked on three continents with leading companies and organizations.

Sander’s academic training reflects his interest in East-West integration: he studied International Law at University of Utrecht and International Economic Law at London School of Economics (LSE), while also completing a degree in Asian Legal Systems at the London School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). He deepened his understanding of the East by studying Chinese philosophy, language and culture in Taiwan, and Buddhist philosophy in Nepal and India. In his subsequent career as lawyer, banker, social entrepreneur and management & leadership consultant, he developed a theory and practice for sustainability leadership, which he calls Triple Value Leadership.

He is currently Executive Director at Garrison Institute International, Senior Faculty at Mobius Executive Leadership in Boston, Faculty Member Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, and Board Director at the European Platform for Compassionate Leadership for Climate & Peace (EUPCL) in Luxembourg.

Sander authored several books and articles. His work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, The Economist, NRC Handelsblad and the Journal for Corporate Citizenship.
