Summary: | What is the primary purpose of business? The standard answer is "making profits," but some visionary entrepreneurs and leaders fundamentally disagree. Instead of just making money, the choose to "dig deeper" and make a difference through creating real value--improving the lives of others even as they find deeper meaning in their own. These leaders build enterprises that provide identity and a sense of purpose, create positive relationships and a place to learn and thrive, embed sustainability in all that they do, and strive to improve the quality of life of all of their stakeholders. This is a book full of inspiring stories that illustrate that there is an alternative to a myopic and narrow capitalism that trades in inequalities, exploitation, collective burnout, and negative consequences for our shared natural environment.-- |
