According to every trend report, the next generations will live under more challenging circumstances than we do. Our world has always been disproportionate, unbalanced, and unjust, but the inequalities and challenges have reached such a magnitude that it's impossible not to experience the consequences firsthand. In the shadow of this, we examine what we can still do.

Leadership is not the end goal but a means of exerting influence. Everyone with power, that is, the ability to influence others' lives, is a leader. Responsibility doesn't belong only to the top leader but to anyone who, through their decisions, achieves an impact within a context. We consider this potential – and the direction and proportion of its utilization – to be so important that we emphasize a leader's role and identity.

Is it essential to give back, and if so, why? Should it be focused or broad? What can we do specifically "beyond work"? What motivational factors are at play, and how can we optimize our opportunities? To address these questions comprehensively, we go through the factors, practical structure, personal experiences, fundamental issues, and the pulling power of ad hoc matters.

Taking responsibility for others can also improve our quality of life. Yet today, few leaders have plans that extend at least 10-15 years into the future, complete with action maps, even though it can make a significant difference in the increasingly burdensome everyday life. It matters greatly if we gather the courage to articulate what, in our opinion, can make the world a better place and what we can personally do for it.
