This was an inspiring discussion, together with every one of those CEOs agreeing that goal and gain aren’t at odds in the current business world. A few excerpts from the dialogue:

“You unleash enormous potential when you connect your workers’ private purpose to the intention behind the business. They’ll help steer you in what’s significant and the posture you may take.
