No matter how “smart” you may be, your brain isn’t built to process all the thousands of pieces of information that come at it each day. When your brain feels overwhelmed, it stops its healthy “thinking’ mode and defaults to the more primal “emotional” ...

Instead, companies that treat purpose as an existential intention that informs every decision, practice, and process are thriving in today’s times where business can be a force for good in the world. This new breed of stakeholder capitalism adopts purpose as their operating system, perce...
