The Next Big Idea Club, Best Leadership Books of 2022
In an era of political and cultural extremism, America's corporate
leaders have emerged as the pragmatic center of a movement for social
and economic progress.
The core tenets of a capitalist system that dominated the world for more
than a century are being challenged as never before. Narratives about
the failures of capitalism, the greed of the 1 percent, and the
blindness of corporations to public need have made their mark and are
driving change. These aren't the superficial cosmetic fixes that
generated so much cynicism in the past, but a revolution in the way
corporations are imagined and run.

pragmatists--realized that they could lose their "operating license"
unless they tackle the fundamental issues of our time: climate,
diversity and inclusion, and inequality and workforce opportunity.
Responding to their employees and customers who are demanding corporate
change, they have taken the lead in establishing the bold new principles
of stakeholder capitalism, ensuring that for the first time in more than
a half a century it is not just shareholders who have a say in how
corporations are run.
Alan Murray vividly captures the zeitgeist of the real and compelling
dynamic that is transforming much of the corporate world.
