More quotes by Anita Roddick
Make heroes out of the employees who personify what you want to see in the organization.
Anita Roddick

Anita Roddick
The money that we make from the company goes into The Body Shop Foundation, which isn't one of those awful tax shelters like some in America. It just functions to take the money and give it away.
Anita Roddick
I think the leadership of a company should encourage the next generation not just to follow, but to overtake.

Anita Roddick
Women are storytellers, they are communicators. They'll go and sit around a table and talk about their first date, their first smoke, their first lipstick, whatever it is. Those rituals of life, marriages and death aren't part of the language of men.
Anita Roddick
My passionate belief is that business can be fun, it can be conducted with love and a powerful force for good.
Anita Roddick
Free trade holds much of the blame for continued international conflict. Markets are said to possess wisdom that is somehow superior to man. Those of us in business who travel in the developing world see the results of such western wisdom and have a rumbling disquiet about much of what our economic institutions have bought into.
Anita Roddick
You have to look at leadership through the eyes of the followers and you have to live the message.
Anita Roddick
Cynicism is what passes for insight when courage is lacking
Anita Roddick
I hope to leave my children a sense of empathy and pity and a will to right social wrongs
Anita Roddick
Never be seduced into believing it isn't the role of business to tackle the big issues, because it absolutely is.
