Through this blog, I have continually expressed the need to embrace conscious capitalism and a more socially inclusive enterprise. These ideas, while gaining more traction in recent years, are nothing new to me because I have lived them since I started my business almost 40 years ago.Let me be clear: I do not want to sound immodest when describing my philosophy. I have taken inspiration from far more generous people than I through my journey in life. My goal is to highlight the people that society mistakenly deems as lowly and unworthy.
I recently wrote about the need for organizations to seek out leaders from all levels of their enterprise because people with such qualities can be found everywhere. We often wrongly assume that those with “management” material, leaders and entrepreneurs can only exist at the very top.
