I think most leaders in these companies have a greater degree of self awareness of the unintended consequences their corps can have. This degree of self awareness did not exist in the mega corps of the 60s thro 90s. The levels of information asymmetry and mastery over scale that exist today has never existed at any prior time in history. What to do with these powers is basically unchartered territory. People who have serious experience in ecology, history and sociology will have much more constructive uses for these powers than any business, tech or political leader. But this hand off of power from traditional "growth" based leadership to "sustainable/equilibrium" based leadership is asking quite a lot from our existing leaders. But I see signs off hope in Zuckerbergs speech on providing ppl "purpose and financial stability". This is a much harder goal than providing information to everyone or a better phone or better blockbuster entertainment. But it is a goal I actually respect him for putting on the table. He didn't have too. And that's leadership.
