Is History Crucial for a Startup Society? Are Leaders Prioritizing the Right Metrics?

Are leaders prioritizing the right metrics? Why does history matter for startups? There’s a lot to consider here. While many might argue that profit should be prioritized above all else, many also oppose this claim, suggesting that people’s happiness matters more than monetary value. This episode will cover our thoughts on the following topics: What makes a good leader? Is GDP the most important metric of a country? Should leaders care about morals? Should a company prioritize morals or profit? Does happiness play a role in the economy? Does happiness affect company profit? Should leaders prioritize happiness? Using history to learn how to be happy Making a good decision for the future If history is written by the victors, can we be sure that history offers us the answers we need to become better leaders? This episode discusses whether societies should focus on moral issues or on prioritizing monetary value. The happiness advantage states that the most important indicator of success should be the happiness metric. This is because leaders prioritizing happiness tend to see more profit and activity in their societies, as well as the mere emotional advantage that comes with being content. This is an interesting point since happier societies are also oftentimes more inclusive and welcoming societies. This means that we need to demand that the history we learn from is an inclusive history, a representative history, and one which shares a dynamic perspective, drawing on inclusive historical records, rather than a one-sided narrative. With this approach, there is no reason we cannot learn how to address any economic problem at hand.
