Since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi published the groundbreaking Flow more
than a decade ago, world leaders such as Tony Blair and former
President Clinton, and influential sports figures like Super Bowl
champion coach Jimmy Johnson have all been inspired by the book. In
today's corporate upheaval, a new business paradigm is evolving. While
many CEOs are being exposed for their greed, truly visionary leaders
believe in a goal that benefits themselves as well as others. They
realize that it is their vision and "soul" that attract loyal
employees willing to go above and beyond the call of corporate duty.
And their employees are realizing the same thing: while 80 percent of
adults claim they'd work even if they didn't have to, the majority of
them can hardly wait to leave their jobs and get home. Good Business
starts with the premise that this is an age in which business and work
have replaced religion and politics as central forces in contemporary
life. The book reveals how business leaders, managers, and even
employees can find their "flow" and contribute not only to their own
happiness, but also to a just and evolving society. It identifies the
factors crucial to the operation of a good business: trust, the
commitment to fostering the personal growth of employees, and the
dedication to creating a product that helps mankind. Good Business is
sure to become a must-read text for anyone who values the positive
contributions of individuals in the changing world of business.
