At THI we were conscious capitalists before Conscious Capitalism was cool. Anne Sauer reviewed for Triple Pundit the recent San Francisco conference inspired by the work of John Mackey, founder and co-CEO of Whole Foods Market, and Raj Sisodia.
Sauer writes: “One clear message emerged from the first day of the Conscious Capitalism 2013 conference that took place April 5th and 6th in San Francisco: if business is going to achieve a higher purpose, we need to change the narrative we tell about business, both inside our organizations, to each other, and outside to the rest of the world.
John Mackey, co-founder and co-CEO of Whole Foods Market and co-author of the book Conscious Capitalism, wants us to move away from a narrative that declares corporations to be sociopathic villains that need to be controlled. Instead, we should recognize business and capitalism as a powerful force for good in the world, one that deserves credit for having “lifted humanity up out of the dirt.” Mackey said, “The leading narrative is that business people are only in it for the money, but this is not my experience. In my experience, they are people who are on fire for some dream they’re trying to realize in the world.”
