“This useful book sheds revealing new light on a pressing problem confronting both businesses and families: how to strike the proper balance between productivity and people's lives.”
- Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School
“In Shared Purpose you will read about the kind of thinking we need to see more of - thinking that recognizes the connections that exist between the institutions of power in our society, including business. For too long we have failed to examine the places where these powerful institutions do and can connect. By allowing business to view itself as a self-contained economic institution, we have failed to demand the kind of value that can be created when business engages with society. The business of business is to serve not just the shareholder, but the shareholder and the customer, the employee and the broad community.”
- Jeffrey B. Swartz, CEO, Timberland
“We have discovered over the years that by far the most effective way to create value for our stockholders is to create value for our employees, our customers, and society as a whole. This important book will help other companies do the same and should be required reading for senior executives.”
- George Hatsopoulos, Chairman, Thermo Electron Corp.
