Recommendation

Dan Pontefract, author of Flat Army, explains how companies can establish meaningful goals, provide energized workplaces, and contribute to their communities and society. Such “purpose-driven” firms put principles ahead of profits, but they find in the long run that being purpose-driven is good for business. Pontefract shows firms how to reach a meaningful “sweet spot” where three important roles come together: each employee’s “personal sense of purpose,” the company’s purpose and the role-based purpose employees feel when their jobs align with their priorities and beliefs. Those who seek a sense of direction for their organizations and business students will benefit from this detailed, practical, inspirational book.

Johnsonville’s management decided to keep paying them their full salaries. In return, it asked its members to volunteer for community work for 20 hours each week and to spend another 20 hours each week on self-education. These activities occupied its Watertown workers for nearly a year until a new plant opened.

Johnsonville Sausage has been a special place to work ever since Ralph C. Stayer founded the company in 1945. Its “culture statement” says that Johnsonville’s goal is to “become the best company in the world,” something it characterizes as a “moral responsibility.” The firm serves “the best interest” of its stakeholders and the “personal growth” of its members. Johnsonville’s intranet publishes the “personal development commitments” of each member...
