The Heart of Business

Leadership Principles for the Next Era of Capitalism

By: Hubert Joly, Caroline Lambert - contributor

Narrated by: Hubert Joly, William Sarris

How to unleash "human magic" and achieve improbable results.

Hubert Joly, former CEO of Best Buy and orchestrator of the retailer's spectacular turnaround, unveils his personal playbook for achieving extraordinary results.

Joly and his team rebuilt the company into one of the nation's favorite employers, vastly increased customer satisfaction, and dramatically grew Best Buy's stock price, while making Best Buy a leader in sustainability and innovation.

In The Heart of Business, Joly shares the philosophy behind the resurgence of Best Buy: pursue a noble purpose, put people at the center of the business, create an environment where every employee can blossom, and treat profit as an outcome, not the goal.

Putting this approach into practice requires radically rethinking how we view work, how we define companies, how we motivate, and how we lead. Joly shares memorable stories, lessons, and practical advice, all drawn from his own personal transformation from a hard-charging McKinsey consultant to a leader who believes in human magic.

The Heart of Business is a timely guide for leaders ready to abandon old paradigms and reinvent capitalism so that it contributes to a sustainable future. Visit TheHeartofBusiness.org to learn more.

Real!

A great approach to the human nature and how the right leader can nurture success.

Good story..... excellent ending

Over all the book was very good and an easy listen. The last 90 minutes were outstanding and a great summary. I will definitely replay that portion frequently to remind myself of these crucial lessons.

Muy chevere la historia.

Tiene conceptos muy interesantes que describe el cambio que sufre Best Buy para subsistir y como aplicarlos.

A good book very well narrated!

A must read for one and all, no matter what level.
The book is full of great anecdotes and examples of what good leadership looks like and what pitfalls to avoid .

Amazing tactics for true leadership!

This is the quintessential book that should be read by anyone leading people - all the way to the executive level. I have listened to it over and over and have picked up something new every time. I wish this book was around when I was working in the corporate world. A must read!
