Other text

Theorists like me may have argued for doing business in a way that promotes widespread prosperity instead of extraction, and long-term purpose over short-term profit, but Jason Stockwood is in the trenches showing us all how very possible it is to operate this way. By stressing intrinsic improvement over extrinsic innovation, Reboot focuses on how real-world competencies are the key to grounded, sustainable, and socially positive enterprise.
