A world raised up. Aren't all business makers aiming at the same thing? To improve and expand peoples activities, getting more done with less time, less money, less talent, etc. In this Unified Theory of Business, the question for each founder would be: which ocean are you taking care of on Planet Business? Is it a known one or a new one? How will you, as an upstart Pirate, rise to Category Kingship? What does stability look like under your leadership? The blue oceans all flow together supporting countless ecosystems. Though resilience is important, growth is the true forever goal. Stasis is really an impossibility. So, what kinds of frontiers do the pillars that your products provide support the pursuit of? Where to man?

Depends on the founders.

In the words of Adam Smith, often regarded as the “father of capitalism,” “How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it except the pleasure of seeing it.” At the Dave Alexander Center for Social Capital https://lnkd.in/gSJ7wSk6 we are committed to recognizing and chronicling CEOs and business leaders who indeed see people as the point of business and of profits, which allows them to build strong bonds with those they rely on for their success: their employees, their customers, and their communities. This approach not only drives success but also gives them a sense of meaning and purpose in an increasingly challenging and complicated world. The SOCIAL CAPITAL movement has already transformed business and society and will be the single most important force for achieving happiness and prosperity for all in the years to come. Join the movement! #ceomindset, #leadership, #socialcapital

“I asked myself a question: Am I still the right guy to run this company?” says Jonathan (Yonatan) Adiri, Founder, President - and former CEO of Healthy.io. Part 2 of Invested with Yonatan is about his decision to step down after giving Healthy.io a decade of his life. It’s honest, it’s raw, and it addresses some of the big questions we don't often get answers to. How do you make the call to walk away from the company you ideated and created? How do you objectively look for your own replacement? And how does it feel as a board member like Michael Eisenberg for your CEO to leave? A must-listen for founders, investors, and anyone curious about what true leadership looks like. Link in the comments 👇🏼

In the context of ETA, this case study explores: - Why leadership is so important - What leadership is not - What leadership is - CEO behaviors that embody leadership - Leadership models to consider Read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/gtZHB8Vc Sign up to our mailing list for more Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition resources, insights, and inspiration: https://lnkd.in/gWN7tiyv #entrepreneurship

Why is it important for small businesses seeking funding to highlight the value of their multigenerational teams? -Younger team members? They’re all over the latest tech, buzzing with fresh ideas, and love shaking things up. -Experienced pros? They bring tried and tested knowledge, problem-solving skills, and mentorship. Together, it can bring innovation and resilience; exactly what investors are hunting for. A team that combines fresh thinking with steady, seasoned insight. It’s not just about having a great culture (although that’s a win in itself); it’s about standing out in a crowded funding market. Diversity like this shows adaptability, forward-thinking, and a strategy that works for the long haul. #Leadership #Diversity #Funding
