BCIU’s Global Network

According to Porat, having a sense of purpose is a factor in team performance. “Culture is substantially more important to driving strong peak performance than any rules or regulations because it governs what we do every day,” she says.

While philanthropy frequently funds workforce readiness initiatives, there is not yet a strong focus on preparing individuals with the skills necessary for the expanding number of green-sector jobs. To build an inclusive, resilient economy, more workers will need to develop and strengthen the green skills increasingly needed to navigate this growing green economy.

The power of leadership can easily be taken for granted. That’s why we bring businesses, governments, and people together every year to recognize outstanding global leadership at BCIU’s Dwight D. Eisenhower Global Awards Gala. Past honorees include Alex Gorsky of Johnson & Johnson, Ajay Banga of Mastercard, and Marillyn Hewson of Lockheed Martin. This year, BCIU will honor Henry Kravis from KKR at our virtual gala on December 8.
