My argument is: keep the bloody bottom line at the bottom. That's where it should be.

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.

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.

There is no scientific answer for success. You can't define it. You've simply got to live it and do it.

Image
Consumers have not been told effectively enough that they have huge power and that purchasing and shopping involve a moral choice.
Anita Roddick
Image
If you pretend that business is beyond morality, that's the kind of morality you get.

The word love is never mentioned in big business.
Anita Roddick
Image
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.

What we are trying to do is to create a new business paradigm, simply showing that business can have a human face and a social conscience.

Mess with nature and it will mess right back.
