Over the past decades...while many businesses have pursued what I call 'business as usual', I have been part of a different, smaller business movement, one that tried to put idealism back on the agenda.

I don't want our success to be measured only by financial yardsticks, or by our distribution or number of shops. What I want to be celebrated for - and it's going to be tough in a business environment - is how good we are to our employees and how we benefit our community. It's a different bottom line.

You have to look at leadership through the eyes of the followers and you have to live the message.

the function of wealth is not to accumulate it but to give it away as productively and responsibly as you can.

Tap the energy of the anarchist and he will be the one to push your company ahead.

I want to work for a company that contributes to and is part of the community. I want something not just to invest in. I want something to believe in.

If I had to choose my driving force, it would be passion.
