How does purpose help you grow a profitable business that people love?
What exactly does it mean to be a purpose-led business?
What higher purpose should your business serve and how do you serve it in a meaningful way?
Purpose in business has become a common expectation, from employees, customers and investors. Yet many business leaders struggle to understand what it means for their business.
For Love dMoney offers clarity on the most recent evolution of organisational purpose. It equates the demand for purpose in business with social purpose. Business as a force for good. Sharing inspiration from businesses such as Intrepid Travel, Outland Denim, Patagonia, Unilever, PayPal and Future Super, this book makes a powerful connection between the two things that drive social purpose-led businesses (which are inextricably linked):
LOVE. Of people, planet and humanity. It’s the raw emotion behind purpose.
And MONEY. Profit and commercial success.
Why are they interlinked? Because when purpose drives profit, it offers the ability to play a bigger game; to be ambitious in the change you seek to create over the long term. Meanwhile you build a meaningful business for everyone involved; you attract passionately invested employees, customers, partners, suppliers and investors; and you build trust, the currency of a valued business.
Written for leaders of medium and large organisations, but also relevant to small business leaders, this book offers the following clear outcomes:
• Clarity on what it means today to be a business led by a higher purpose
• Insight into the powerful movement behind business as a force for good
• Inspiration from successful social purpose-led businesses
• A methodology on how to define and embed meaningful purpose into your business and brand
• A clear ‘how-to’ approach to get you started on identifying and articulating your brand purpose
For Love uMoney combines inspiration, insight and practical resources to empower you to reimagine your business and the higher purpose that will drive its success through the volatility of the twenty-first century.
