This episode explores the first "pillar of principled entrepreneurship": The economy exists for people, not people for the economy." Join Andreas, Jon & Rebecca as they discuss work as a path to holiness and human excellence, and how good and lasting businesses focus on creating value for others. They also touch on the importance of hiring based on character, of investing in the development of employees, and so-called "co-opetition.". The conversation highlights the negative impact of practices like "rank and yank,", and the need to align job descriptions to employee strengths to prioritize the well-being and growth of individuals.
