Customer loyalty, employee engagement, leadership integrity, community partnership. These are aspirations shared by progressive business leaders who understand that top-line growth and bottom-line profitability increase as a result of a holistic management strategy.
In his 2019 annual letter to CEOs, Larry Fink of BlackRock writes:
Profits are essential if a company is to effectively serve all of its stakeholders over time – not only shareholders, but also employees, customers, and communities. Similarly, when a company truly understands and expresses its purpose, it functions with the focus and strategic discipline that drive long-term profitability. Purpose unifies management, employees, and communities.
