Kind Business: How values create value (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781923225763)

Can you imagine a world where corporations prioritise society's wellbeing alongside investor returns?

In Kind Business Dr David Cooke journeys through the evolution of commerce, from its humble origins to the complex corporate structures of today. Kind Business scrutinises contemporary boardroom decisions, challenging the status quo and advocating for change.

This book exposes the flaws of profit-driven business practices that are focused on short-term returns which overshadow long-term sustainability. Dr Cooke contends that the root cause lies in leadership failure, where decisions neglect the broader stakeholder ecosystem.

But there is hope. Kind Business offers a blueprint for a new era of corporate responsibility, emphasising the integration of people and planet into leadership strategies. By spotlighting visionary leaders and exemplifying purpose-driven initiatives, Dr Cooke demonstrates how businesses can thrive by enriching society and nurturing investor interests.

Embrace a future where values create value, where businesses do well by doing good. Can you imagine such a world? Kind Business shows us that it's not only possible but imperative for a sustainable future.
