Inhaltsangabe

Capitalism has long focused on generating profits, believing that positive impact should be left to non-profits and governments. But in the 2020s, positive impact and exceptional returns are inextricably tied. And this new reality needs a new set of principles - impact principles - to guide decision-making for investors, company-builders and anyone navigating a career as they venture beyond. General Catalyst CEO Hemant Taneja has developed these principles throughout his life, and they have helped General Catalyst - with 30 billion dollars in assets - fund, found and nurture some of the most exciting companies of the past two decades, while having a powerful positive impact on society. In The Impact Principles, Taneja explains in detail the nine principles behind his firm''s outsized success in investing and industry transformation. The principles will help readers: Understand the critical importance of a company''s soul; Navigate through the inevitable twists and turns when creating a new future for us; See through trends that don''t matter and focus on what truly matters for enduring success; Help build companies that solve society''s hardest problems, making capitalism a force for good; Lean into their better angels, confident that leading with curiosity and generosity results in extraordinary success. Moving forward, the most enduring successes will come from those companies whose tangible benefits to the world naturally result in compounding returns. Equipped with these nine principles, any individual or organization will be able to see through trends and short-term thinking and instead focus on long-term success that lasts for generations to come.
