Summary of Carol Sanford's The Regenerative Business

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Regenerative businesses tap into creativity and innovation, and they develop them in order to improve life for customers and workers. They change the way employees look at the world, and they build better citizens as a result.

#2 The way most companies manage their workforces is bad for business, and it is also bad for people and democracy. It draws on outmoded and inaccurate beliefs about human nature and what it takes to create healthy patterns of social engagement.

#3 The American Revolution was the first time people were able to express their autonomy and resist the imposition of governmental or corporate institutions. However, most solutions focused on creating greater autonomy and less bureaucracy fail to address one essential underlying problem: our social institutions have fostered an impulse toward greater freedom but have failed to equip citizens with the criticalthinking capabilities to use that freedom effectively.

#4 Regenerative business design is a powerful and proven method of improving margins, cash flow, and earnings. It requires the deep examination of a business's starting premises and what it is willing to undertake, as well as the internal destabilization and discomfort that come with responding creatively to the unknown.
