    House of Plenty - The Rise Fall...

    The epic story of the rise, fall, and redemption of an iconic American restaurant, one of only five in the Fortune 500.Scarred by the deaths of his mother and sisters and the failure of his father’s business, a young man dreamed of making enough money to retire early and retreat into the secure world that his childhood tragedies had torn from him. But Harry Luby refused to be a robber baron. Turning totally against the tide of avaricious capitalism, he determined to make a fortune by doing good. Starting with that unlikely, even naive, ambition in 1911, Harry Luby founded a cafeteria empire that by the 1980s had revenues second only to McDonald’s. So successfully did Luby and his heirs satisfy the tastes of America that Luby’s became the country’s largest cafeteria chain, creating more millionaires per capita among its employees than any other corporation of its size. Even more surprising, the company stayed true to Harry Luby’s vision for eight decades, making money by treating its customers and employees exceptionally well.Written with the sweep and drama of a novel, House of Plenty tells the engrossing story of Luby’s founding and phenomenal growth, its long run as America's favorite family restaurant during the post-World War II decades, its financial failure during the greed-driven 1990s when non-family leadership jettisoned the company’s proven business model, and its recent struggle back to solvency. Carol Dawson and Carol Johnston draw on insider stories and company records to recapture the forces that propelled the company to its greatest heights, including its unprecedented practices of allowing store managers to keep 40 percent of net profits and issuing stock to all employees, which allowed thousands of Luby’s workers to achieve the American dream of honestly earned prosperity. The authors also plumb the depths of the Luby’s drama, including a hushed-up theft that split the family for decades; the 1991 mass shooting at the Killeen Luby’s, which splattered the company’s good name across headlines nationwide; and the rapacious over-expansion that more than doubled the company’s size in nine years (1987-1996), pushed it into bankruptcy, and drove president and CEO John Edward Curtis Jr. to violent suicide.Disproving F. Scott Fitzgerald’s adage that “there are no second acts in American lives,” House of Plenty tells the epic story of an iconic American institution that has risen, fallen, and found redemption—with no curtain call in sight.“Intrigue, mystery, and strategy—all in a historical profile of Luby’s Cafeterias. This is a book about an institution we all knew as home—never thinking that the foundation was a business plan destined to work for fifty years. What went wrong? Read on! A “must” for business schools everywhere, and a fun read for everyone.”—Jon Brumley, Forbes Entrepreneur of the Year, cofounder and chairman of the Board of Encore Acquisitions Company

Consumers are tired of  interruption, push, mass media and the manipulation of marketing  and advertising generally. They want to deal with honest, ethical  companies that have heart and purpose and that care about serving  all their stakeholders instead of their pockets. Conscious  Marketing proves that marketing can really work if the paradigm is  shiftedradically. In Conscious Marketing: How to  Create an Awesome Business With a New Approach to Marketing,  author Carolyn Tate demonstrates just how beneficial this shift can  be. By practising the four tenets of conscious marketing, companies  can raise their brand's profile and attract customers for life. The  book shows how building a business with a higher-purpose can lead  to sustainability, profitability and industry leadership. Conscious  marketing works for both multinational corporations and  cash-strapped small business alike.  In the modern market, a business that does well and contributes  to the elevation of humanity and the planet attracts the best  customers, employees, suppliers and investors. These people  evangelize, and the brand reach expands exponentially further and  to a more loyal audience than traditional marketing will ever  capture. This concept and other topics in the book include:    What's wrong with marketing and why it doesn't work  What "conscious" means to the consumer, business, leader and  marketer  The who, what, why and how of conscious marketing  Navigating the shift from traditional to conscious  practices    The book includes a three-part guide to crafting an actionable  plan, including where to find help.

It can be fun, human and  inspiring for everyone involved, but change requires a deep shift  in thinking and behaviour that goes way beyond the transaction or  the sale. To stay relevant in the modern economy, businesses must  show what's at their core, why they do what they do and why it  matters. Conscious Marketingis a comprehensive guide to  fixing the problem, with a sustainable solution.
