Becoming a “Firm of Endearment”
Drawing upon his best-selling books, Firms of Endearment and Conscious Capitalism, Raj Sisodia outlines how world-class companies can profit from passion and purpose—becoming endearing and enduring organizations. From Costco to Commerce Bank, Wegman’s to Whole Foods, these firms are generating every form of value that matters, not because it’s “politically correct,” but because it’s the only path toward long-term competitive advantage. No matter what your industry, you’ll learn how your organization can shed the old, narrow, instrumental view of business and implement a more expansive and deeply fulfilling version of what business can and should be.
The Healing Organization
We live in a world of extraordinary pain and suffering. Public confidence in major corporations is at an all-time low. Why? Too many businesses exploit their people and harm their communities for short-term profit. If we are not consciously part of the healing, we are probably part of the hurting. But it doesn't have to be this way. Based on his most recent book, The Healing Organization: Awakening the Conscience of Business to Help Save the World, Raj Sisodia makes the case that business can become the primary agent for healing society. This is not about healing businesses; it is about business as healing. Business can take wounded people, broken communities and damaged ecosystems and make them whole again – and businesses that operate in this way will be more successful and profitable over time. Sisodia shares stories and case studies of such businesses and extracts lessons that can put any company on the path to becoming a healing organization.
