Business
in the 21st Century
The
purpose of business is
not primarily to maximize shareholder value.
Now before
you gasp and say “oh my God” think about this for a
second. You see the idea is that happy, empowered
employees beget happy customers. Happy customers mean

to take in our careers. Do we do what the company
wants us to do to keep people happy or do we push
back when we feel that our customers, and patients,
