This is, instead, a new conception of how business meets a changing world...</em><br /> - John Seifert<br /> Worldwide Chairman & CEO, Ogilvy & Mather</p><p><em>Concise, compelling, courageous. Chris Houston has produced a "must read" book in support of what is arguably one of this century's most important and provocative concepts - business as a force for good. As dean of a business school whose vision is to develop leaders for a sustainable world, I am delighted that our students will have the privilege of exploring For Goodness' Sake.</em><br /> - Julia Christensen Hughes<br /> Dean, College of Business and Economics, University of Guelph</p><p><em>Powerful and thought-provoking. A must-read for leaders to successfully navigate the sea of disruption ahead.</em><br /> - Sofia Theodorou<br /> Senior VP Talent & Workplace, LoyaltyOne</p><p><em>This book is an eloquent conversation on corporate and executive purpose. On each page, Chris Houston delivers wisdom for all of us in executive roles or our everyday relations. It is well considered thought that most reminds me of the philosophical elegance of Charles Handy.</em><br /> - Dr. Douglas Snetsinger<br /> Professor, Rotman School of Commerce, University of Toronto</p><p><em>All people want a purpose, and all organizations should want one as well.
