Ralph Nader has been a longtime critic of massive corporations. In The Rebellious CEO: 12 Leaders Who Did It Right, he shines a light on the 12 CEOs (past and present) that, unlike their counterparts, deserve recognition for their ability to balance the pursuit of profit with morals and ethics. These exemplary founders chose to act in ways that benefited the wellbeing of their employees and the environment, while also building wildly successful businesses. The stories revealed in this book ultimately prove that behaving ethically in business can and does lead to financial success.

The visionaries highlighted in The Rebellious CEO and the companies they run give us a sense of what could become the norm if corporate culture underwent a structural reformation; instead of being a destructive force, businesses could become a tool for vastly improving our social bonds, our natural environment, and beyond.
This deep-dive into the ins and outs of these leaders and the businesses they run shows that businesses do not have to be soulless in order to be successful, and moreover, that success is a direct result of acting as human first, CEO second. This book is an aspirational look at what could be for our future and current business leaders, and one that could shift the cultural mindset surrounding our misguided understanding of the standard corporate ethos.
This looks really interesting. I hope lots of CEOs listen and gain inspiration from it.
Good morning Ralph - Pre ordered your book; not a procrastinator. Looking forward to a pillow companion read, followed by dreams of a future wth CEOs dressed in compassion. (Any CEOs you'd like me to send a copy?)
