Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
The Aspen Institute Business & Society Program and Korn Ferry would like to thank the members of our Working Group for their expertise and insight as these Principles were assembled. This listing does not imply endorsement, but rather involvement in the project and a commitment to fresh thinking in the boardroom. Their reactions and feedback informed revisions and the content of this final version.
