About this listen
B Corps are part of a global movement of more than 2,700 companies in 60 countries - like Patagonia, Ben & Jerry’s, Kickstarter, Danone North America, and Eileen Fisher - that are using the power of business as a force for good. B Corps have been certified to have met rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. This audiobook is the authoritative guide to the what, why, and how of B Corp certification.
Coauthors Ryan Honeyman and Dr. Tiffany Jana spoke with the leaders of more than 200 B Corps from around the world to get their insights on becoming a certified B Corp, improving their social and environmental performance, and building a more inclusive economy. The second edition has been completely revised and updated to include a much stronger focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). These changes are important because DEI can no longer be a side conversation - it must be a core value for any company that aspires to make money and make a difference.
While this audiobook is framed around the B Corp movement, any company, regardless of size, industry, or location, can use the tools contained here to learn how to build a better business. As the authors vividly demonstrate, using business as a force for good can help you attract and retain the best talent, distinguish your company in a crowded market, and increase trust in your brand.

Dr. David Burkus is a highly regarded and increasingly influential business school professor who challenges many of the established principles of business management.

A provocative work that challenges the traditional and widely accepted principles of business management - and proves that they are outdated, outmoded, or simply don't work. Do open floor plans really work? Are there companies that put their employees' welfare first, and their clients second? Are annual performance reviews necessary? Dr. David Burkus is a highly regarded and increasingly influential business school professor who challenges many of the established principles of business management.

Managers want great teams, but most build them around decades-old ideas and practices made popular by companies that have lost their edge. Extreme Teams looks at the new generation of teams driving growth in today's most innovative firms. They do this by doing things differently: hiring the right person instead of the best person; focusing on one priority while leaving room to explore new ideas; creating an environment where people are comfortable dealing with the uncomfortable.

In the past few years, a number of well-known firms have failed; think of Blockbuster, Kodak, or RadioShack. When we hear about their demise, it often seems inevitable - a natural part of "creative destruction." But closer examination reveals a disturbing truth: Companies large and small are shuttering more quickly than ever. What does it take to buck this trend? The simple answer is: ambidexterity. Firms must remain competitive in their core markets, while also winning in new domains.

Just B Corp Certified & This Was a Great Resource
Our company was just B Corp Certified so I picked this up as soon as I heard about it. It's a great overview and still gave more insights for me to think about for now and the future. It will also be a succinct resource for our team, especially the partners. And I love that it presents a global view, not just US.

Not the same text as the book.
Quality is fine. Bought this audio book for a class because the text book was required and I wanted to get some chapters done in the car. I learned after my first quiz that the audio book is not even close to what’s written in the book. I don’t understand why it’s this way but it is. So a fair warning to all the students who have this as a required reading, don’t purchase it’s not the same. Even though it doesn’t say that anywhere.
