Consumers of the future are going to want their consumption hand in hand with a demonstrated commitment to bettering our world- it is the companies that can deliver on this that will thrive in the coming decades.
More and more, employees, customers, and investors want their work and money to not only provide for their own material needs but to also help create a better world for all. Bestselling author John Izzo teams up with Jeff VanderWein to show leaders and companies how to transform their corporate culture so they can succeed in the midst of this Purpose Revolution.
Today people want more than just a good job or a good deal—increasingly, they want to feel like they're doing good as well, that their work and money are contributing to some greater purpose. John Izzo and Jeff VanderWielen call it The Purpose Revolution, and in this revelatory book they argue that it will dramatically transform the world of business. 
While they describe the Purpose Revolution's impact on consumers and investors, their prime focus is on how to activate purpose among employees and how to embed purpose in the culture of your organization. Because you can't fake purpose—it has to be a genuine part of your organizational DNA if you're going to attract customers and investors. Using many examples, the authors illustrate how to lead in this new age of social good, how to attract and engage talented employees, how to create a purposeful culture, and how to win loyalty from employees, customers, and investors.

      Narrator Jeff Hoyt's deep pitch and carefully timed phrasing are critical to delivering the message that purposeful leadership and individual empowerment are necessary for any capitalist enterprise to be successful. His confidence and sensitivity to nuance make the authors' message memorable, their invitations hard to resist. Izzo and Vanderwielen say that the way a company behaves toward its employees, customers, and the world around it must be rooted in deeply held values. Corporate governance and management should make space for employees and other stakeholders to connect their own purpose to the work they're doing. With these expressions of purpose at all corporate levels, we can address the divisions that threaten civilization--between the haves and have-nots, between the natural world and civilization's failing stewardship, and between modern life and the spiritual aspects of being human.
