About this listen

What if leaders stripped away all preconceptions about how business operates, allowing the organization to go back to its core and build itself back up to become something new - something so responsive, so innovative and resilient, it becomes virtually non-displaceable in the market?

The Regenerative Business sets the stage for what is now only dreamt of by most of today's forward-thinking leaders and paves the path to make it possible. The audiobook features:

  • Real stories from companies leading innovation and transformation across the globe including: Google, Colgate Europe, Seventh Generation, Nike, and others
  • A logical, comprehensive approach that factors in the complexities of the modern organization
  • The work of internationally-recognized leadership expert Carol Sanford, who for decades has been designing and leading systemic business change

There might be a good book here...

The book provides some thought provoking concepts but if you haven't experienced them before it can be difficult to apply it.

An example is a chapter starts with a quote about reasoning from first principles and 3 core principles are given. Why these are the 3 first principles of a regenerative business are not clearly stated. I often found myself asking if 2 of the 3 are really the first principles as the book went on.

Another challenge is the book doesn't give examples of hard situations. If you establish a self-direction and self awareness as key facets for people, how do you deal with people who are not self aware that something they are doing is very destructive to them or the company? The answer is hinted at, but some solid examples around difficult scenarios would really help those who have not experienced a "regenerative business" to really understand how it could look like in real life.

Finally, the wording of the book is extremely business jargon heavy. If you are not used to that it can take some effort to cut through that and understand what is being said.

I think there is a really great book in here, but the material needs to be presented differently.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
