S7.E1: The Poetry of Business
Season 7 is based on the book "The Poetry of Business: A CEO's Quest for Meaning". This first episode covers: - A Time to Leave- The Poetry of BusinessThe episode begins: It was time to leave. A bitter-sweet time. The CEO felt sadness, but also contentment. The business he had conceived and birthed and nurtured was mature enough to stand on its own feet now; to live out its own life.Later, it continues:He was leaving behind his scruffy notebooks in the boardroom cabinet - those dog-eared, tea-stained pages on which, over the years, he had jotted down his ideas. Scrawled untidily were the lessons he had learned along the way: about how to make a business 'fit for human beings'; about how to survive in commerce and still sleep soundly at night; about how to create a company that served society, instead of the other way around. So many thoughts …I hope you will join us in this narrative on the purpose of business.
