“Vintage Iacocca . . . He is fast-talking, blunt, boastful, and unabashedly patriotic. Lee Iacocca is also a genuine folk hero. . . . His career is breathtaking.”—Business Week He’s an American legend, a straight-shooting businessman who brought Chrysler back from the brink and in the process became a media celebrity, newsmaker, and a man many had urged to run for president.

Bogen introducerer konceptet company karma – en holistisk tilgang til forretning, hvor virksomhedens handlinger betragtes som en kæde af konsekvenser for medarbejdere, kunder, samfund og miljø. Forfatterne argumenterer for, at virksomheder, der arbejder bevidst med værdier, etik, spiritualitet og mening, kan skabe både økonomisk værdi og positiv samfundsmæssig effekt. De beskriver konkrete værktøjer til at omsætte værdier til praksis, fx gennem ledelsesstil, organisationskultur, samarbejde, HR-politik og branding. Undervejs kobles teorier om systemisk tænkning, globalisering og bæredygtig udvikling med praktiske eksempler fra erhvervslivet. Bogen lægger op til refleksion over lederrollen og giver inspiration til at udvikle mere menneskelige og ansvarlige virksomheder.
