Summary

The idea that business is only about the money doesn’t hold true in the twenty-first century, when companies around the world are giving up traditional distinctions in order to succeed. Yet our expectations for businesses remain under the sway of an outdated worldview that emphasizes profits for shareholders above all else.The Power of And offers a new narrative about the nature of business, revealing the focus on responsibility and ethics that unites today’s most influential ideas and companies. R. Edward Freeman, Kirsten E. Martin, and Bidhan L. Parmar detail an emerging business model built on five key concepts: prioritizing purpose as well as profits; creating value for stakeholders as well as shareholders; seeing business as embedded in society as well as markets; recognizing people’s full humanity as well as their economic interests; and integrating business and ethics into a more holistic model. Drawing on examples across companies, industries, and countries, they show that these values support persevering in hard times and prospering over the long term. Real-world success stories disprove the conventional wisdom that there are unavoidable trade-offs between acting ethically and succeeding financially. The Power of And presents a conceptual revolution about what it means for business to be responsible, providing a new story for us to tell in order to help all kinds of companies thrive.

    To succeed in business—in anything really—you need to become obsessed with being better. How can I be a better leader? How can we offer better customer service? How can we sell better? How can we work better as a team? How can we have better transparency as a company? How can we embrace change better?The obsession with being better hit Damon right between the eyes when one of his first customers threatened the entire business model he built on the first day that he was officially self-employed. That phone call was a brutal awakening. But it was also a blessing in disguise. It underscored the ever-pressing need to not just be good, but to be better. In all departments. At all times.That’s where this book comes in. Believe in Better includes the ten key areas within the realm of business that will drive unprecedented success and growth when you simply focus on being better.Because being the best is fleeting. Being better is forever.

This book provides a short introduction to the philosophy of humanism and discusses how and why it is being applied to business and why it is so effective when you do so.
