About the book

Our current way of doing business is broken

From unsustainable growth and boom-bust cycles to a profit-first, people-last approach, the evidence shows our businesses are struggling. There has to be a better way.

Drawing on wisdom traditions, best-practice business research and some of the world’s most successful companies, The Awakened Company lays out a deep and practical path to doing business with more meaning, purpose and connection, and, paradoxically, greater profitability and sustainability.

An Awakened Company is...

Energizing

Drive, vision, direction, initiative, goal focus and assertiveness.

Sustaining

Structure, flow, standards, care, connectedness, values, accountability and a strong support system.

Regenerating

Seeing the bigger picture, creating space, allowing time for the creative process, and introspection.

“The world’s greatest challenges will be solved by people working together in new ways.”
Catherine R. Bell
