Your fall reading assignment
Several months ago, I had a chance to read Tim Sanders’s new book Saving the World at Work
Sanders — who’s written other books, including one with what might be the best title of the last 10 years — makes the case that business is entering what he calls the “Responsibility Revolution.” Businesses that make a difference in society — through the products and services they offer, through their environmental practices, through the way they treat employees and suppliers — are the ones that will flourish. Those that don’t have such aspirations, and then put them into place, will become irrelevant.
The book just came out last week. And given what’s happening in the economy, it’s going to make a splash. Look for it near you. It’s definitely worth a read.Â
