In 2012, Hubert Joly joined as CEO of Best Buy, a company on the brink of disruption, and led one of the most remarkable comeback stories in American business annals. While CEO he didn't seek the spotlight, but now he's ready to share the principles that helped him complete this remarkable turnaround.
Having recently stepped down as Chairman and CEO of Best Buy, Joly shares the leadership principles illustrated by multiple vivid and concrete stories that underpinned the remarkable resurgence of Best Buy and that he believes are at the heart of business: pursue a noble purpose, put people at the center, embrace all stakeholders, and treat profit as an outcome. There was a time when many would call this a soft philosophy. But times have changed. The world and business are facing unprecedented challenges. Business can be, in fact needs to be a force for good.
In 2019, Best Buy and 180 other companies signed the momentous Business Roundtable statement in support of stakeholder capitalism, highlighting that you can do well by doing good. The Covid-19 pandemic further pushed many businesses to lead from a place of purpose and with humanity.
More broadly, Joly's principles echo and reaffirm that the notion of stakeholder capitalism isn't just a nice idea, it's the winning strategy.

And in the chest, there was a treasure so special that it could
make your dreams come true. Or so it was said." Join Hare as she

the way, she meets Bear, whose dream is to make friends, and Bird,
whose dream is to overcome shyness. But when they eventually get to
the top and find the treasure, they realise that they've already
found what they're looking for. This stunning debut picture book
teaches that real treasure is not gold and friendship holds the
most value of all

A practical guide to building the connections students need to
thrive in and after college from the authors of the best-selling
Relationship-Rich Education. Decades of research demonstrate how
important the relationships with peers and professors are for
students academically, personally, and professionally. Yet many
students lack the strategies to develop educationally purposeful
relationships in college. Connections Are Everything shows students
the simple steps they can take to make their own college experience
meaningful and transformational. In short, practical chapters, this
guide helps readers learn how to build relationships through
various strategies, including using "relationship accelerators"
like internships and mentorships, undergraduate research, and
campus employment. Undergraduate demographics have changed
dramatically as students of color and first-generation students
become the new majority at colleges and universities across the
United States. Connections are particularly significant for these
students; the positive—and negative—impacts of peer, faculty,
and staff relationships are magnified. Higher education cannot meet
students' needs or achieve equity, justice, and inclusion without
relationship-rich education. This book empowers students to seek
out relationships by demystifying the varied ways they can
cultivate significant connections.
