When is the last time you heard a high-ranking board member of any company say something like this?
“I suggested at the [gathering of business leaders] that management people had a responsibility beyond that of making a profit for their stockholders. I said that we … had a responsibility to our employees to recognize their dignity as human beings, and to assure that they should share in the success which their work made possible. I pointed out, also, that we had a responsibility to our customers, and to the community at large, as well. I was surprised and shocked that not a single person at that meeting agreed with me.”
— David Packard, co-founder of Hewlett-Packard (1949)
