Benevolent Capitalism
Benevolent Capitalism – An Entirely New System for Business
by Gary Douglas, Steven Bowman and Chutisa Bowman
The buzz around the world is Benevolent Leadership and Benevolent Capitalism. It has caught the attention of CEOs, churches, the media and individuals. The precept of Benevolent Leadership goes beyond being “ethical” or social and moral responsibilities. It is an entirely new way of being and functioning in our life. Benevolent leaders shift from the mindset based on “I have to get my share” and using and abusing to get what they want, to instead embracing generosity of spirit and a benevolent way of being, which looks at the different futures that can be created.
In addition, the conventional way of doing business is not working anymore. Too much of what’s been done here is capitalism based on “I have to get my share” and not caring if anyone else does. Unless businesses function from benevolent capitalism and from what it would take to create more in the world for everybody, not just themselves, eventually we are going to use up the planets’ resources, we are not going to create a sustainable reality, nor a sustainable planet.
By sustainable, we’re not just talking “survive”, we’re talking about where it actually grows and becomes something even greater Business today needs a new paradigm along the lines of ‘Benevolent Capitalism’, because it is apparent that conventional business practices are out of balance—and all of us need to address this imbalance now. What could we change on the planet if we could all make that demand? Everything!
The need for benevolent leadership and benevolent capitalism has never been greater. The threat of ecosystem failure needs not be inevitable if we are willing to change, use our awareness, magnify consciousness globally and act now. There is an urgent need to change the conventional schemes and practices of traditional leadership and the global industrial system. If business leaders get more conscious, they won’t destroy the earth the way they are doing right now through their businesses.
If we choose in our daily life also to be a benevolent leader, we won’t destroy the planet through judgment, anger, rage and upset. That’s the kind of change that urgently needs to be actualized – big change. Our target is to get business leaders and people generally to the point where they are aware and conscious enough to create change in themselves so that they can increase the possibility of changing the injury, destruction and insanities that their points of view and actions are creating in the world.
The key message is simple: Benevolent leaders live their life and lead their business from generosity of spirit (wishing everyone well). They operate from how it contributes to them and everybody else. This ability is imperative for personal and professional success. You can choose to exist on autopilot mode, consuming all you can, taking as much as possible from the earth and giving little back. Or you can transform yourself into a benevolent leader who can create value for others and become the catalyst for a different possibility in life and in the world. It’s Just choice.

“Benevolent “ comes from ancient Latin “bene”- to be well, and “volent”- to wish, and actually means “to wish well”. “Capitalism” originally meant organic growth of existing wealth, which could be money, resources, people, or the original derivation of the word “capita” meaning head, usually of cattle or other livestock.
Benevolent Capitalism is about creating organic growth whilst at the same time wishing all well. It is about being with the world in a different way, with finances, with business, and with your life. It is a fresh perspective about creating and generating that will provide you with insights, experiences and tools that have the power to transform your business and life.
This movement has just started, and there is a world first conference on Benevolent Capitalism is occurring in Melbourne September 12-15 2015 that brings together some world leaders in this movement to explore insights and ways forward for our organizations and the planet. This class on Benevolent Capitalism will be streamed lived across the world.
