The Fast Company Impact Council is a unique community of leaders and entrepreneurs focused on sharing insights for effective leadership. The article emphasizes that real leadership transformation occurs in personal spaces, such as homes, amidst global crises. It draws a parallel between the integrity of homes and leadership, stating that ethical decision-making in home design mirrors the ability to lead effectively. The contrast between extractive and regenerative mindsets is explored, underscoring that our relationship to resources and the environment directly influences leadership practices and organizational decisions.
Integrity derives from the Latin word "integer"-meaning whole, complete, undivided. This word describes both ethical leadership and structural soundness. A home lacks integrity when its foundation cracks or its systems fail to work as a unified whole.
The decisions that shape our homes-from material sourcing to energy systems to spatial design-are fundamentally ethical choices. They reveal whether we truly understand our relationship to resources, community, and future generations.
