More quotes by Anita Roddick
If I can't do something for the public good, what the hell am I doing?
Anita Roddick
My mother's bottom line was truth to her values. It meant bringing your heart and your humanity to work.
Anita Roddick
We were most creative when our back was against the wall.
Anita Roddick
the leaders of globalization ... have tied themselves to a single measurement by which they judge success and failure ... They only measure money and the bottom line.
Anita Roddick
Ninety-nine per cent of what we say is about values. I firmly believe that ethical capitalism is the best way of changing society for the better.
Anita Roddick
I am aware that success is more than a good idea. It is timing too.
Anita Roddick
I want to define success by redefining it. For me it isn't that solely mythical definition - glamour, allure, power of wealth, and the privilege from care. Any definition of success should be personal because it's so transitory. It's about shaping my own destiny.
Anita Roddick
If there is excitement in their lives, it is contained in the figures on the profit and loss sheet. What an indictment.
Anita Roddick
You have to look at leadership through the eyes of the followers and you have to live the message. What I have learned is that people become motivated when you guide them to the source of their own power and when you make heroes out of employees who personify what you want to see in the organization.
Anita Roddick
I think it is completely immoral for a shop to trade in the middle of a community, to take money and make profits from that community and then ignore the existence of that community, its needs and problems.
Anita Roddick
The business of business should not be about money. It should be about responsibility. It should be about public good, not private greed
Anita Roddick
Speed, agility and responsiveness are the keys to future success.
Anita Roddick
If you don't believe one person can make a difference, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.
Anita Roddick
The most exciting thing happening in business is the rise of vigilante consumers.
Anita Roddick
For me, campaigning and good business is also about putting forward solutions, not just opposing destructive practices or human rights abuses.
Anita Roddick
We are essentially outsiders and that is the best definition of an entrepreneur I have ever come across.
Anita Roddick
You persuade people with passion, so you've got to have a product or service you feel emotionally charged about. Then you can tell stories about it that will inspire others.
Anita Roddick
If you pretend that business is beyond morality, that's the kind of morality you get.
Anita Roddick
I am still looking for the modern equivalent of those Quakers who ran successful businesses and made money because they offered honest products and treated their people decently . . . This business creed, sadly, seems long forgotten.
Anita Roddick
When you take the high moral road it is difficult for anyone to object without sounding like a complete fool.
