1/4 Corporate leadership signals to investors matter. Typically: little on material issues, woefully scripted Q&A. Recent investor earnings calls provide interesting lessons in contrast (hope x 2, despair x 1) - highlights of closing comments of recent calls follow. #leadership
2/4 @PepsiCo outgoing CEO @IndraNooyi shows how PEP used purpose + sustainability to deliver responsible growth, balancing short/long term; could have taken potshots at those who trashed long term, healthier shift, instead graceful, purposeful in last earnings call. #inspired 
3/4 @Tesla gives last word to CFO Deepak Ahuja who again repeats @elonmusk comments that value creation is thanks to employee, customer + investor belief in "vision of accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy". Yes, that was the CFO speaking. #visionary
4/4 Meanwhile @amazon's call closes w Dave Fildes (investor relations) hammering away at cost reductions. No mention of people, planet, purpose - nary a hint in spite of huge impacts (+ regenerative opportunities!) of company. Wonder where this will lead them? #dangerous
