The current business model, now over 100 years old, is based on control, isolation and fear. These characteristics are abusive to any living being. A business model based on love, truth and beauty leads is far stronger.
I'm sure beauty is one of the most underrated ideas in business. When I talk about beauty, I have in mind a combination of ideas like:
The search for beauty has driven much of our progress. It was the search for beauty that drove Einstein. He believed nature displayed a beauty that was discernible, and that a characteristic feature of this beauty was simplicity. He used beauty as his most important measure of success. He always tested his thoughts and discoveries against a measure of beauty. Imagine his reaction if his famous formula (E=M C2) had had 20 factors. Max Planck wrote that in Einstein's general theory of relativity "the intimate union between the beautiful, the true and the real has again been proved". Einstein's concept of beauty drove him to spend the last decades of his life in an unsuccessful search for a unified field theory.
Managers also need to get into the habit of testing their thinking and their results against a three part scale to measure the beauty of their work:
