A Wall Street Journal Bestseller Named a Financial Times top title How
to unleash "human magic" and achieve improbable results. Hubert Joly,
former CEO of Best Buy and orchestrator of the retailer's spectacular
turnaround, unveils his personal playbook for achieving extraordinary
outcomes by putting people and purpose at the heart of business. Back
in 2012, "Everyone thought we were going to die," says Joly. Eight
years later, Best Buy was transformed as Joly and his team rebuilt the
company into one of the nation's favorite employers, vastly increased
customer satisfaction, and dramatically grew Best Buy's stock price.
Joly and his team also succeeded in making Best Buy a leader in
sustainability and innovation. In The Heart of Business, Joly shares
the philosophy behind the resurgence of Best Buy: pursue a noble
purpose, put people at the center of the business, create an
environment where every employee can blossom, and treat profit as an
outcome, not the goal. This approach is easy to understand, but
putting it into practice is not so easy. It requires radically
rethinking how we view work, how we define companies, how we motivate,
and how we lead. In this book Joly shares memorable stories, lessons,
and practical advice, all drawn from his own personal transformation
from a hard-charging McKinsey consultant to a leader who believes in
human magic. The Heart of Business is a timely guide for leaders ready
to abandon old paradigms and lead with purpose and humanity. It shows
how we can reinvent capitalism so that it contributes to a sustainable
future.
