让“永续”永续下去

让“永续”永续下去 最简单来说, 永续,就是一件事情能够长期持续,而不会耗尽或破坏让它得以继续的条件。 这远远不只是ESG或环保。 一家公司今年可能赚很多钱,但如果它把员工累垮、失去客户信任,或承担过度风险,这样的利润还能持续多久? 一个人每天工作16个小时,也许能创造惊人的成绩。但如果最后牺牲了健康、人际关系,甚至失去继续工作的能力,这种成功又能持续多久? 所以,永续真正的核心是: 让价值创造能够持续下去。 但是,我们能让“永续”永续下去吗? 企业可以推出永续计划、减少碳排放、关注员工福祉、发布ESG报告,甚至制定负责任的AI原则。 但是, 三年后呢? 管理层换了。利润下降了。员工失去热情。新科技出现了。股东要求更快的回报。 企业还会坚持吗? 这就是**“做永续” 与 “让永续持续下去”**的区别。 永续问:“这件事能不能继续?” 让永续持续则问:“当环境改变,我们为什么还会继续做对的事?” 为什么“让永续持续”更重要? 想想运动。 运动一次当然有益,甚至连续拼命运动一个月,也会看到成果。 但真正的价值,是建立一种能够让你 运动十年、二十年,甚至一辈子 的生活方式。 永续也是如此。 种一次树不够,重要的是长期保护生态。 生意好的时候善待员工很容易;利润下滑时,是否仍然尊重员工,才是真正的考验。 没有代价的时候坚持道德也不难。 当做对的事情需要付出代价时,你是否仍然坚持——这才是真正的考验。 这正是 爱的智慧(LQ)3C 能够帮助我们让永续持续下去的地方: Care 关爱——让我们有理由坚持。 Courage 勇气——困难的时候,仍然敢于坚持。 Connection 连接——让彼此都有继续走下去的理由。 永续不是终点。 真正的挑战,是让“永续”本身永续下去。 而最终的目标,是: 不断创造值得持续的价值——为自己、为他人,也为这个世界。

Sustaining Sustainability is More Important than Sustainability

What exactly is sustainability? At its simplest, sustainability means being able to continue something over time without exhausting or destroying what makes it possible. This is broader than ESG or the environment. A company may make profits this year, but if it burns out its people, loses customer trust or takes excessive risks, those profits may not be sustainable. A person may work 16 hours every day and achieve extraordinary results. But if that destroys their health, relationships or ability to continue performing, that way of working is not sustainable. So sustainability is really about continuity of value creation . But can we sustain sustainability? A company can launch a sustainability initiative. It can reduce emissions, introduce employee-wellbeing programmes, publish an ESG report or adopt responsible AI principles. But what happens three years later? Management changes. Profits fall. Employees lose interest. The sustainability team changes. A new technology arrives. Shareh...

AI时代,什么都可以造出来,你还能相信谁?

今天,几乎任何人,都可以创造任何东西。 AI可以几秒钟写出一篇专业文章,可以生成不存在的人像,可以模仿声音、制作视频、写歌、设计广告。 甚至可以让一个普通人,看起来像专家。 所以未来真正的问题,已经不是: “这个东西能不能做出来?” 而是: “这个东西,我能相信吗?” 更重要的是: “这个人,我能相信吗?” AI让创造越来越便宜,信任却越来越贵 当每个人都能做出漂亮的内容, 漂亮就不再稀缺。 当每个人都能说得头头是道, 知识也不再是最大的差异。 当每个人都能塑造一个“成功的自己”,我们最终看的,就不是你的包装,而是你的 为人 。 竞争优势正在改变: 从 你能创造什么 ,变成 别人是否相信你 。 从 知识 ,变成 诚信 。 从 流量 ,变成 信任 。 那么,我们到底相信谁? 不是AI用得最好的人。 而是那些: 说的话和做的事一致的人。 不知道的时候,敢说: “我不知道。” 犯错的时候,敢承认: “我错了。” 利益当前,仍然愿意做正确的事。 面对别人,不只是想着: “我可以从你身上得到什么?” 而是: “我可以为你创造什么价值?” 所以很有意思—— AI越先进,一个非常古老的东西,反而越值钱: 做一个好人。 这也是我所说的 爱的智慧(LQ) 。 关爱 Care ——你是真的关心别人,还是只关心交易? 勇气 Courage ——说真话会吃亏的时候,你还敢不敢说? 连接 Connection ——你有没有长期建立一种关系,让别人真正知道你是怎样的人? AI可以帮你创造内容, 却不能替你累积几十年的诚信。 AI可以模仿你的声音, 却不能替你建立信誉。 AI可以包装你的形象, 但你的为人,只能靠自己。 所以,AI时代最大的竞争优势,也许不是AI。 而是两个字: 信任 如何建立信任? 其实很简单: 做真人。做好人。做好事。一直做。 因为当所有东西都可以被制造出来的时候, 最难复制的,不是你的知识。 而是你这个人。

Reason I Seldom Use AI to Create My Photos

In an AI World Where Anyone Can Create Anything, Who Can You Trust? Today, almost anyone can create almost anything. AI can write an impressive article in seconds.  It can create beautiful photographs of people who never existed. It can clone voices, generate videos, compose music, design advertisements and make ordinary people appear to be experts. Soon, the question may no longer be: “Can this be created?”   Almost certainly, it can. The more important question becomes: “Can I trust it?” And even more importantly: “Can I trust YOU?” AI Makes Creation Cheap. Trust Becomes Expensive. When everyone can produce professional-looking content, appearance becomes less valuable. When everyone can sound knowledgeable, knowledge alone becomes less differentiating. When anyone can create the image of success, reputation becomes more important than presentation. The competitive advantage therefore shifts. From what you can create to whether people believe you . From information to i...

朱高炽的爱的智慧

身体很弱,却让大明变得更强 朱高炽的爱的智慧 历史上的强大皇帝,往往让人想到征战、扩张和丰功伟绩。 但明仁宗 朱高炽 很不一样。 他肥胖、体弱、行动不便,而且只当了不到一年的皇帝。 然而,就是这位看起来“不强”的皇帝,却帮助大明走向后来著名的**“仁宣之治”**。 他的父亲朱棣留下了许多辉煌成就:迁都北京、郑和下西洋、军事远征。 但辉煌,也需要百姓付出代价。 朱高炽上台后,开始改变方向。 他减少一些耗费巨大的项目,减轻赋税和徭役,赈济灾民,让流离失所的农民回乡,并重新重用有能力的文臣。 他的思维很简单: 国家强不强,不只是看皇帝做了多少大事,而是看老百姓过得好不好。 这让我想到今天河南的 胖东来 。 很多企业问: “怎样从员工和顾客身上得到更多?” 胖东来却反过来问: “怎样让员工和顾客过得更好,同时把企业做好?” 两者相隔600多年,环境完全不同,却有一个共同点: 不要为了成就伟大,而把人榨干。 这就是我所理解的 爱的智慧(LQ) 。 关爱 Care ——看见人民真正的需要。 勇气 Courage ——敢于改变过去看似成功的做法。 连接 Connection ——听取人才意见,让上下同心。 朱高炽在位时间很短,但他的儿子朱瞻基大体延续了这一方向,形成历史上著名的 仁宣之治 。 所以,朱高炽真正值得我们记住的,不是他的身体有多弱。 而是: 弱的是身体,强的是仁心。 无论治理一个国家,还是经营一家企业,真正伟大的领导者,不一定是创造最大版图、最高销售额的人。 而是因为他的存在,让更多人过上更好的生活。 这,也许就是领导者最高境界的 爱的智慧 。

An Emperor that Cannot Walk properly made Chinese Human

The Weak Emperor Who Made the Ming Dynasty Stronger What Zhu Gaochi and Pang Dong Lai Teach Us About Love Intelligence When we imagine a great Chinese emperor, we imagine someone powerful:  Strong body,  Strong army,  Great conquests and  Magnificent achievements. Ming's 4th Emperor, Zhu Gaochi(朱高炽), the Hongxi Emperor(明仁宗), looked almost like the opposite. He was born obese, suffered poor health and had difficulty walking. His father, the formidable Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, was far more attracted to military strength, while Zhu Gaochi gravitated toward scholars, administration and Confucian government. And after finally becoming emperor, Zhu Gaochi ruled for less than one year , from 1424 to 1425. Yet that short reign helped change the direction of the Ming dynasty. His Father Built Great Things. Zhu Gaochi Asked: Who Is Paying for Them? Yongle's reign produced extraordinary achievements: military campaigns, Beijing's development as the imperial capital and Zheng He's...

The Board Will Never Catch Up with AI, and It Doesn't Have to

The Board Will Never Catch Up with AI — And It Doesn't Have To To Govern AI, Understand the Humans Who Use It AI is advancing faster than most boards can possibly follow. By the time directors understand today's AI, tomorrow's technology has arrived. So how can a board govern something it struggles to keep up with? Perhaps we are asking the wrong question. Boards don't need to understand AI better than the technologists. They need to understand humans better than the technology. Because ultimately, one of the biggest risks of AI is not simply what AI can do. It is what humans will choose to do with it. The Real AI Risk May Be Human Imagine management presents an AI-generated forecast showing that a major investment will deliver excellent returns. The board could ask:  "How accurate is the AI model?" Important question. But perhaps the more important questions are: Who chose the assumptions? Is management using AI to challenge its thinking, or to justify a deci...

中秋真正要圆的,从来不是月亮

中秋真正要圆的,从来不是月亮 今晚,我们赏月、吃月饼、点灯笼。 但中秋节真正要庆祝的,也许从来不是月亮。 月亮,只是在提醒我们:有些人,不要等失去了,才想起珍惜。 一、惜缘——珍惜还在身边的人 父母会老,孩子会长大,朋友也会渐渐走远。 我们总以为还有下一次。 下一次吃饭,下一次见面,下一次再好好说话。 可是人生最残酷的地方,就是—— 有些“下一次”,真的不会来。 所以,中秋提醒我们: 人在,缘就在。人在,就要珍惜。 二、团圆——不是人在一起,而是心在一起 一家人可以住在同一个屋檐下,却很久没有真正说过心里话。 夫妻可以结婚30年,却不知道对方最近累不累、怕什么、心里藏着什么。 今年中秋,不要只是送月饼。 找一个你爱的人,坐下来,问一句: “你最近,真的过得好吗?” 然后不要急着给建议。 只是好好听。 有时候,一个人最需要的,不是答案。 而是终于有人愿意听懂他的心。 三、圆满——有些关系,值得我们先走一步 也许有一个人,你很想念,却很久没有联系。 也许有一句“谢谢”,一直没有说。 也许有一句“对不起”,藏在心里很多年。 也许你们都在等对方先开口。 为什么一定要等? 真正的圆满,不是所有事情都完美。 而是我们还有机会的时候,愿意把没有说的话说出来,把疏远的心重新拉近。 这就是 爱的智慧(LQ) : 关爱(Care)——记得那些重要的人。 勇气(Courage)——愿意先走一步。 连接(Connection)——让两颗疏远的心,再次靠近。 所以今晚,当你抬头看月亮时,也看看身边的人。 因为中秋真正要圆的, 从来不是天上的月亮,而是我们心中那一份没有完成的爱。 月有阴晴圆缺,人有聚散离合。 趁人还在,趁爱还来得及——好好爱。

Nothing To Do with the Moon

3 Reasons Why We Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival — And They Have Nothing to Do with the Moon Tonight, millions of people will look at the full moon, eat mooncakes and light lanterns. But perhaps Mid-Autumn Festival was never really about the moon. The moon is only a reminder. A reminder of three things we easily forget. 1. To Remember — 惜缘 Life moves quickly. Parents grow older. Children grow up. Friends drift apart. Mid-Autumn reminds us: Don't wait until someone is gone before remembering how important they were. Treasure the people who are still here. 2. To Reconnect — 团圆 团圆 is more than sitting at the same dinner table. You can live in the same house for 30 years and still be emotionally miles apart. This Mid-Autumn, don't just share a mooncake. Share a conversation.  Ask someone you love: “你最近真的过得好吗?” “How are you, really?” Then listen. 3. To Repair — 圆满 There may be someone you love but haven't spoken to properly for months or years. Someone you misunderstood.  Someone ...

AI没提高你的生产力,除非你

AI省下了时间,然后呢? AI时代最大的问题,已经不是: “我们会不会用AI?” 而是: “当AI越来越能取代人的工作,人怎么办?” 这里有一个很矛盾的问题。 企业不断培训员工使用AI,提高生产力。但如果所谓的“提高生产力”,最终只是意味着 公司需要更少的人 ,员工为什么要积极学习一种可能减少自己工作机会的工具? 所以,我们必须重新思考: 什么才是真正的AI生产力? 假设过去需要20个人完成的工作,现在10个人加上AI就能完成。 对企业来说,成本降低了,账面上的生产力也提高了。 但这只是故事的一半。 如果另外10个人失业,又无法找到新的、有价值的工作,整个社会同时失去了他们的 收入、消费能力、技能和未来可能创造的价值 。 所以: 降低成本,创造的是效率。 创造新价值,带来的才是进步。 AI真正的机会,不应该只是“少请几个人”,而是把AI释放出来的 时间、人才和资源,重新投入价值创造。 如果AI每天帮我省下两个小时,我要问: 这两个小时,我拿来做什么? 只是少工作两个小时? 还是裁掉一个人的工作? 或者利用这两个小时: 开拓新市场、开发新产品、改善客户体验、创造新的商业模式,甚至解决过去解决不了的社会问题? 例如人口老龄化、生育率下降、医疗、教育、永续发展等。 这才是真正值得追求的AI革命。 所以,CEO、HR和董事会不应该只问: “AI可以帮我们省多少钱?” 更应该问: “AI释放出来的人类能力,可以为我们创造什么新的价值?” 因为未来真正优秀的企业,不是利用AI让人变得更便宜。 而是 让AI使人变得更有价值。 省时间,不等于生产力。 把省下来的时间变成价值,才是真正的AI生产力。

Sorry, there is no productivity gained when you use AI, unless you...

AI Saves Time. But What Are We Saving the Time For? The biggest question about AI is no longer: “How do we use AI?” It is: “What happens to humans when AI can do more and more of their work?” There is an uncomfortable paradox. We train employees to use AI to become more productive. But if “productivity” simply means that the company eventually needs fewer employees, why should workers enthusiastically help train the technology that may reduce the need for their jobs? This is where we need to rethink what AI productivity really means. Suppose AI allows ten people to do the work previously done by twenty. The company may save money. Its measured productivity may rise. But that is only part of the equation. If the other ten people lose their jobs and cannot find productive new work, society also loses their income, consumption, skills and potentially their future contribution. The real opportunity from AI comes when the time and resources it releases are reinvested into human value creat...

爱的智慧最高境界:做个好人

爱的智慧最高境界:做个好人 我们一生都在学习: 怎样更聪明, 怎样赚更多钱, 怎样成功。 但走到最后, 爱的智慧(LQ)其实很简单: 心存善,行动善,结果自然向善。 做好人(Be Good) ——心里有善意。 做好事(Do Good) ——把善意变成行动。 得善果(Good Returns) ——善良累积信任、人缘、机会与福气。 做好事,不代表马上有好报。 人生不是自动贩卖机,投下一份善,就马上掉下一份回报。 但是长期而言: 善良创造信任, 信任创造关系, 关系创造机会, 机会创造财富。 这就是爱的智慧: Care 关爱——心存善。 Courage 勇气——敢行善。 Connection 连接——广结善缘。 所以,人生不必太复杂。 做好人,做好事,结善缘。 你给世界什么,往往决定世界最终给你什么。

The Ultimate Love Intelligence: Be a Good Person

The Ultimate Love Intelligence: Be a Good Person We spend our lives learning how to be smarter. How to make more money.  How to communicate better.  How to influence people.  How to succeed. But perhaps at the end of everything, Love Intelligence (LQ) comes down to something remarkably simple: Be Good — have goodness in your heart. Do Good — turn goodness into action. Create Good — leave people, relationships, organisations and the world a little better because you were there. And what about the reward? Doing good does not guarantee that every good act will bring an immediate reward. Life doesn't work like a vending machine. But over time, goodness tends to create something extremely valuable: Trust. Reputation. Relationships. Meaning. Inner peace. And these often create opportunities and rewards that money alone cannot buy. This is where the 3Cs of LQ ultimately lead: Care → Be Good. Perhaps we don't need to make Love Intelligence complicated. Do good ...

Good Deeds, Great Profits: Why Doing Good Is No Longer Optional for Business

For decades, business leaders lived by a single rule popularized by economist Milton Friedman: maximize profits for shareholders, and worry about the rest later . Doing good was treated like a side hobby, a shiny sustainability report published once a year just to check regulatory boxes . Today, that old playbook is obsolete . Thanks to AI, social media, and instant global connectivity, businesses now operate inside what is effectively a "glasshouse" .  Supply chains are searchable . How a company treats its workers, impacts the environment, or serves its customers can be broadcast to millions in seconds . Misleading PR and hollow pledges no longer cut it; in an era where an AI-assisted fact-checker or disgruntled employee can scrutinize claims instantly, authenticity is a company’s most valuable shield . Real purpose is not philanthropy, nor is it ignoring financial returns . It is about solving an actual human, societal, or environmental problem in a way that is financia...

Not Everything That Can Be Sustained Should Be Sustained

Not Everything That Can Be Sustained Should Be Sustained The missing question in sustainability is not “Can we continue?” but “Should we continue?” Imagine a company discovers a business model that is highly profitable. It can repeat the model year after year. Customers keep buying. Profits keep growing. Is that sustainable? Perhaps. But what if those profits depend on exhausting employees, exploiting suppliers, misleading customers, misusing personal data or damaging the environment? Suddenly, “sustainable” doesn't sound so sustainable. Sustainability Needs Ethics I like to define sustainability simply: Sustainability is doing something again and again because it continues to create value for yourself, others and the world. But there is an important question hidden inside this definition: What do we mean by “value”? Something can create financial value for me while destroying value for somebody else. That is why ethics matters. Sustainability asks: “Can we continue?” Ethics asks: ...
