The image of modern corporations has been shaped by a profits over people approach, but we are at a point where business must take the lead in healing the crises of our time. The Healing Organization shows how corporations can become healing forces. Conscious Capitalism pioneer Raj Sisodia and organizational innovation expert Michael J. Gelb were inspired to write this book because of the epidemic of unnecessary suffering connected with business, including the destruction of the environment; increasing numbers living paycheck-to-paycheck and barely surviving; and rising rates of depression and stress leading to chronic health problems. Based on extensive in-depth interviews and inspiring case studies, Sisodia and Gelb show how companies such as Shake Shack, Hyatt, KIND Healthy Snacks, Eileen Fisher, H-E-B, FIFCO, Jaipur Rugs and DTE Energy are healing their employees, customers, communities and other stakeholders. They represent a diverse sampling of industries and geographies, but they all have significant elements in common, besides being profitable enterprises: Their employees love coming to work. They have passionately loyal customers. They make a significant positive difference to the communities they serve. They preserve and restore the ecosystems in which they operate. The enmity and dividedness between those who champion unfettered capitalism and those who advocate socialism is exacerbating rather than solving our problems. In a world that urgently needs healing on many levels, this is a movement whose time has come. The Healing Organization shows how it can be done, how it is being done, and how you can begin to do it too.

“Bob Chapman, CEO of the $1.7 billion manufacturing company Barry-Wehmiller, is on a mission to change the way businesses treat their employees.” – Inc. Magazine Starting in 1997, Bob Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller have pioneered a dramatically different approach to leadership that creates off-the-charts morale, loyalty, creativity, and business performance. The company utterly rejects the idea that employees are simply functions, to be moved around, "managed" with carrots and sticks, or discarded at will. Instead, Barry-Wehmiller manifests the reality that every single person matters, just like in a family. That’s not a cliché on a mission statement; it’s the bedrock of the company’s success. During tough times a family pulls together, makes sacrifices together, and endures short-term pain together. If a parent loses his or her job, a family doesn’t lay off one of the kids. That’s the approach Barry-Wehmiller took when the Great Recession caused revenue to plunge for more than a year. Instead of mass layoffs, they found creative and caring ways to cut costs, such as asking team members to take a month of unpaid leave. As a result, Barry-Wehmiller emerged from the downturn with higher employee morale than ever before. It’s natural to be skeptical when you first hear about this approach. Every time Barry-Wehmiller acquires a company that relied on traditional management practices, the new team members are skeptical too. But they soon learn what it’s like to work at an exceptional workplace where the goal is for everyone to feel trusted and cared for—and where it’s expected that they will justify that trust by caring for each other and putting the common good first. Chapman and coauthor Raj Sisodia show how any organization can reject the traumatic consequences of rolling layoffs, dehumanizing rules, and hypercompetitive cultures. Once you stop treating people like functions or costs, disengaged workers begin to share their gifts and talents toward a shared future. Uninspired workers stop feeling that their jobs have no meaning. Frustrated workers stop taking their bad days out on their spouses and kids. And everyone stops counting the minutes until it’s time to go home. This book chronicles Chapman’s journey to find his true calling, going behind the scenes as his team tackles real-world challenges with caring, empathy, and inspiration. It also provides clear steps to transform your own workplace, whether you lead two people or two hundred thousand. While the Barry-Wehmiller way isn’t easy, it is simple. As the authors put it: "Everyone wants to do better. Trust them. Leaders are everywhere. Find them. People achieve good things, big and small, every day. Celebrate them. Some people wish things were different. Listen to them. Everybody matters. Show them."

Our current one - sided notion of a leader's power is a root cause of a host of contemporary problems, including social breakdown, environmental degradation, an epidemic of depression, and corruption in business and government. Whether we are male or female, we have been trained to value leadership qualities that are traditionally thought of as masculine: hierarchical, individualistic, militaristic. Reaching into ancient spiritual and mythical teachings, the authors revive a feminine archetype of leadership: generative, cooperative, creative, empathetic. In the Indian yogic tradition, these qualities are associated with Shakti, the source of creation, sustenance and transformation that powers the cycle of life. Bhat and Sisodia seek to restore a long - lost balance, for men and women alike, of masculine and feminine energies. All leaders should learn to value and understand ''''Shakti Leadership'''', meaning acting from a consciousness of life - giving creativity and sustainability to achieve self - mastery and be of selfless service. When leaders of both sexes learn to embrace this mindset, we can restore sanity, elevate humanity and heal the planet by evolving consciously together.

Too many leaders, men and women alike, have bought into the notion of leadership that exclusively emphasizes traditionally 'masculine' qualities: hierarchical, militaristic, win-at-all-costs. The result has been corruption, environmental degradation, social breakdown, stress, depression and a host of other serious problems. But there is another way, one that restores a balance to this lopsided way of leading. Reaching into ancient spiritual and mythical teachings, Nilima Bhat and Raj Sisodia revive a feminine archetype of leadership: generative, cooperative, creative, empathetic. While these qualities are often thought of as 'feminine', we all have them. However, for people in leadership positions, they tend to be undervalued and underdeveloped. In the Indian yogic tradition, this feminine principle is recognized as supremely intelligent and responsive. It is personified as the Great Mother or Goddess Shakti and is the source that powers the cycle of life.

In our increasingly digital, mobile, and global world, the existing theories of business and economics have lost much of their appeal with the phenomenal rise of Chindia, the reality of Brexit, the turmoil caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and the seismic shifting of the global center of gravity from west to east. In the area of innovation, the traditional thinking that a developed country, often the US, will come up with the next major innovation, launch at home first, and then take it to other markets does not ring true anymore. Similarly, the world where conglomerates go bargain-hunting for acquisitions in emerging markets has been turned upside-down. This book reveals and illustrates the Global Rule of Three phenomenon, which stipulates that in competitive markets only three companies (which the authors call "generalists") can dominate the market. All other players in the market are specialists. Further, whereas the financial performance of generalists improves as market share increases, specialist companies see a decrease in financial performance as their market share increases, as the latter are margin-driven companies. This theory powerfully captures the evolution of global markets and what executives must do to succeed. It is based on empirical analyses of hundreds of markets and industries in the US and globally. Competitive markets evolve in a predictable fashion across industries and geographies, where every industry goes through a similar lifecycle from beginning to end (or revitalization). From local to regional to national markets, the last stop in the evolution of markets is going global. The pattern is so consistent that it represents a distinct and natural market structure at every level. The authors offer strategies that generalists and specialist should follow to stay competitive as well as twelve expansion strategies for global companies from emerging markets. This book chronicles this global evolution and provides impactful managerial implications for executives and students of marketing and corporate strategy alike.

In a world where businesses often create more harm than healing, this transformative guide shows leaders how to heal themselves first--because only whole leaders can build truly healthy organizations. Leadership shouldn't cost us our souls, yet too many leaders find themselves spiritually and emotionally exhausted, leading organizations that drain rather than nurture human potential. This book offers a different path--one where personal transformation becomes the foundation for positive organizational change. Written by conscious business pioneer Raj Sisodia and transformational expert Nilima Bhat, this book guides readers through seven essential steps of inner healing that ripple out to create healthier organizations: Know your self--Strip away the masks you wear as a leader to discover who you truly are. Love your self--Learn to embrace all parts of yourself, even the shadows you try to hide. Be your self--Find the courage to lead authentically, not just effectively. Choose your self--Take back authorship of your leadership story. Express your self--Channel your unique gifts into meaningful impact. Complete your self--Bring together all parts of yourself into wholeness. Heal your self--Transform your wounds into wisdom that serves others. Through vulnerable personal stories, practical exercises, and real-world applications, this book provides a road map for leaders who are ready to begin their healing journey--not just for their own sake but also for the healing of the organizations and communities they serve.

Updated and expanded, the New York Times bestseller that helped companies such as Whole Foods Market, Patagonia, Microsoft, and others build profitable businesses while creating value for all stakeholders. When Conscious Capitalism was first published, the ideas it contained were considered radical by many. Among the most radical is the strong belief in the extraordinary power of capitalism to do more good for people in a sustained manner than any other social or economic system invented by humankind. This message has been an inspiration to many business leaders and entrepreneurs who want to have a positive impact on the world—while also building thriving businesses that provide excellent economic returns. In this classic book, now updated and expanded, Whole Foods Market cofounder John Mackey and Conscious Capitalism, Inc., cofounder Raj Sisodia show how many of today's most admired companies—Microsoft, Costco, UPS, Patagonia, and many others—are building strong and profitable businesses while creating value for all stakeholders, including customers, employees, suppliers, investors, society, and the environment. For the first time, Mackey and Sisodia introduce a new principle of conscious capitalism—conscious strategy—showing how companies today are competing on caring, culture, and joy. Mackey and Sisodia also tackle the challenges that conscious businesses face, including potential backlash, and they walk us through what happens when conscious businesses lose their way and how companies can recover in ways that build stakeholder trust. The authors also address the role of AI in helping companies operate in a more conscious way while also elevating performance. With new case studies and examples—and new tools and resources to help businesses transition to a more conscious model—Conscious Capitalism remains the essential authoritative resource for individuals and companies looking to build a more cooperative, humane, and positive future.

Bestseller del New York Times Bestseller del Wall Street Journal Apparso su Super Soul Sunday di Oprah Winfrey John Mackey e Raj Sisodia sottopongono ad una serrata critica la narrazione secondo cui il capitalismo sarebbe la fonte di tutti i mali che affliggono la nostra società in quanto sfrutta i lavoratori, inganna i consumatori, genera disuguaglianza, disgrega le comunità locali e distrugge l’ambiente inseguendo una crescita che, alla fine, non può che rivelarsi insostenibile. A questa versione mercantilistica e predatoria del capitalismo, gli autori contrappongono una versione più nobile, che chiamano “Capitalismo consapevole” ed è basata su quattro princìpi fondamentali: Lo scopo di un’azienda consapevole non è creare valore solo per se stessa, ma per l’intera comunità per cui opera: clienti, dipendenti, fornitori, investitori e chiunque sia influenzato a qualunque titolo dalle sue attività. Un’azienda consapevole non ricerca la massimizzazione del profitto ad ogni costo, ma pone al centro delle sue attività il perseguimento di scopi di ordine superiore, che sono il motivo stesso della sua esistenza. Un’azienda consapevole è guidata da leader consapevoli mossi dalla dedizione nei confronti dell’impresa, di tutte le persone su cui essa ha un impatto e del pianeta che noi tutti condividiamo. Un’azienda consapevole possiede una cultura aziendale autentica, innovativa e improntata al rispetto nei confronti degli altri, grazie alla quale tutti i dipendenti possono crescere come individui e sentirsi appagati come persone. In sintesi, secondo gli autori, un capitalismo consapevole può contribuire a creare un mondo in cui miliardi di persone abbiano la possibilità di fiorire e condurre una vita piena di passione, determinazione, amore e creatività.
