"In Search Of Excellence" author, Tom Peters passionately recommended we invite Michael J. Gelb to be a podcast guest.
And so we have!
Michael's new book, The Healing Organization: Awakening The Conscience Of Business To Help Save The World," co-written with conscious capitalism pioneer Raj Sisodia, is the focus of this podcast -- & the conversation is nothing short of inspiring.
Tapping into the research he conducted for his book, Michael shares remarkable stories about well-known companies like Shake Shack, Hyatt Hotels and Kind Bars – and how they've earned uncommon loyalty, profit & success by operating in ways that inherently "heal" their employees, customers & communities.
We're all familiar with the pledge the Business Roundtable (nearly 200 of the US's top CEOs) recently made to abandon the “shareholders always come first” operating philosophy. But the organizations Michael studied are already there. And by intentionally choosing to support the needs & interests of all their stakeholders -- they took it on faith that they'd end up building sustainably greater companies -- exactly what they've all accomplished.
In a world that urgently needs healing on many levels, a movement to reinvent capitalism so it serves the needs of all constituencies already has great momentum. Listen in to hear what motivated so many top CEOs to create a healing organization – & how individual managers like you can play a meaningful role in making it happen in yours.
