Resum
The future of our world is up for debate. The climate is changing and we are confronted with polarization in society, international tensions and new business challenges. Many social issues affect people directly and they want to do something about it. They envision a future, bring allies together and get to work. Small initiatives lead to innovative and values-driven alliances with a positive impact on our society.
The mission of a values-driven alliance is to make positive changes in our society. In these alliances, several parties work together to make a positive social, economic, and environmental impact. Because of the societal mission and the scope of values-driven alliances, the collaboration is complex and full of paradoxes. The essence of it is dealing with these paradoxes in the forming, building, developing and evolving stages of these alliances. The chapter presents eight paradoxes which provide insights into how to deal with irreconcilably opposed views and resulting actions in the life cycle of values-driven alliances.
This chapter provides insights into the dynamics of innovative values-driven alliances and how leaders and professionals deal with paradoxes in the alliances’ life cycle and in their strategic decision-making processes. The values, motives and competences of values-based leaders are explored and discussed. The Global Alliance for Banking on Values is used as a case study to inspire scholars and practitioners to deal with the paradoxes that arise in creating purpose-driven alliances and managing innovative alliances with the aim of supporting societal transformation.
In addition to understanding the dynamics of alliances and the essential qualities of values-driven leaders, this chapter provides inspiration for people who want to contribute to a better world, working together with others. Leaders, professionals and change masters are invited to reflect on their own capabilities in creating and managing values-based alliances and on the values, motives, and competences of their own leadership in collaborative transformation to create a better and more sustainable world.
