Praise for The Responsible Entrepreneur "When I founded Joie De Vivre, I wanted to change an industry. You do that by connecting to the lives of people who buy from you. As Carol Sanford says, responsibility also starts with something big enough to change an industry that transforms people's lives. The stories and guidance in The Responsible Entrepreneur make responsibility come alive." --Chip Conley, author, Emotional Equations and Peak, head of global hospitality, Airbnb, and founder, Joie de Vivre Hospitality "If our society is not only to survive but also to flourish we will need a generation of entrepreneurs who are fully aware of the fragility, complexity, and interconnectedness of the world and committed to building outstandingly successful businesses. In this passionate and inspiring book, Carol Sanford presents the stories of a wide range of entrepreneurs who are mastering this tension, and presents an actionable road map for everyone who is determined to follow in their footsteps." --Rebecca Henderson, John & Natty McArthur University Professor and cochair, Business & Environment Initiative, Harvard Business School "Through Seventh Generation's work with Carol Sanford, we learned the value of systems thinking, and her frameworks made us a more effective business and helped me become a better values-based leader. The approach in The Responsible Entrepreneur makes it possible for people in our company to be more conscious and work from a commitment to a higher set of values." --Jeffrey Hollender, founder, Sustain, cofounder, Seventh Generation, and coauthor, The Responsibility Revolution "Graduate students aspire to make big changes in the world and strongly prefer to create their own path forward. Carol Sanford speaks directly to the current generation. She gives lessons and inspiration on finding the uniqueness in themselves to play a large role in the world. The Responsible Entrepreneur contains powerful stories, half from female entrepreneurs who have contributed to a better world, as well as stories of women of color. It is perfectly suited to the new generation of entrepreneurs and the people who coach and teach them." --Kellie A. McElhaney, Whitehead Faculty Fellow, Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley, and author, Just Good Business "Carol Sanford says this book is about being responsible, and it is--but The Responsible Entrepreneur is also about being courageous. I dare you to read it and implement the bold, useful advice." --Chris Guillebeau, author, The $100 Startup "The Responsible Entrepreneur is for people who create enterprises that create good work in the world. Carol Sanford, an extremely experienced member of that movement, has written a book that puts its leading figures in context, and helps you realize that you're in it with them." --Art Kleiner, editor-in-chief, strategy+business, and author, The Age of Heretics
