The Healing Organization: Awakening the Conscience of Business to Help Save the World

Synopsis

<p>The image of modern corporations has been shaped by a focus on profits over people and the environment, but this approach to capitalism is no longer viable.&nbsp; We are at an inflection point where business must take the lead in healing the crises of our time.&nbsp;The Healing Organization&nbsp;shows how corporations can become healing forces.</p><p>Conscious Capitalism pioneer Raj Sisodia and organizational innovation expert Michael J. Gelb were inspired to write&nbsp;The Healing Organization&nbsp;because of the epidemic of unnecessary suffering connected with business, including the destruction of the environment; increasing numbers living paycheck-to-paycheck and barely surviving (despite working full-time or even multiple jobs); rising rates of depression and stress leading to chronic health problems; and because the enmity and dividedness between those who champion unfettered capitalism and those who advocate socialism is exacerbating rather than solving our problems.</p><p>Based on extensive in-depth interviews and inspiring case studies, the authors show how companies such as Shake Shack, Hyatt, KIND Healthy Snacks, Eileen Fisher, H-E-B, FIFCO, Jaipur Rugs and DTE Energy are healing their employees, customers, communities and other stakeholders. They represent a diverse sampling of industries and geographies, but they all have significant elements in common, besides being profitable enterprises:</p>Their employees love coming to work.They have passionately loyal customers.They make a significant positive difference to the communities they serve.They preserve and restore the ecosystems in which they operate.<p>In a world that urgently needs healing on many levels, this is a movement whose time has come,. This book shows how it can be done, how it is being done, and how you can begin to do it too.</p>
