THE PURPOSE REVOLUTION How Leaders Create Engagement and Competitive Advantage in an Age of Social Good

Narrator Jeff Hoyt's deep pitch and carefully timed phrasing are critical to delivering the message that purposeful leadership and individual empowerment are necessary for any capitalist enterprise to be successful. His confidence and sensitivity to nuance make the authors' message memorable, their invitations hard to resist. Izzo and Vanderwielen say that the way a company behaves toward its employees, customers, and the world around it must be rooted in deeply held values. Corporate governance and management should make space for employees and other stakeholders to connect their own purpose to the work they're doing. With these expressions of purpose at all corporate levels, we can address the divisions that threaten civilization--between the haves and have-nots, between the natural world and civilization's failing stewardship, and between modern life and the spiritual aspects of being human.
