Conscious Capitalism - Creating a New Paradigm for Business
The old paradigm of maximizing profits and shareholder values as the sole purpose of business has created negative unintended consequences. The good news is that we can remove most the hostility toward business and capitalism if we change the way we think about it. If business owners/entrepreneurs begin to view their business as a complex and evolving interdependent system and manage their business more consciously for the well-being of all their major stakeholders, while fulfilling their highest business purpose, then we will begin to see the hostility towards capitalism and business disappear.
