There is now proof that business and philanthropy form a powerful platform for positive change.
Shari Arison has shown this through her leadership in over three decades of philanthropy and 15 years of running her own global business, the Arison Group. In her previous New York Times bestseller, Activate Your Goodness , Shari revealed the ways doing good enriches the lives of individuals and those around them. Now, in The Doing Good Model , Shari's vision and insights have been applied to the corporate world to illustrate how everyone benefits when companies value people and the planet alongside profit. Learning about the 13 values within The Doing Good Model will enable business owners to rethink their impact on every level, from the individual, all the way through to our collective well-being.

And more than that, it's a call to action for business owners, leaders, and employees in all industries across the world to become agents for change. Companies of any size can benefit from Shari's vision. Her sustainable values-based business model can easily be introduced and implemented in any organization.
It's time to revitalize modern business for the good of humanity. Let The Doing Good Model open your eyes and become a catalyst for corporate transformation.

um texto de quase 200 páginas, bem fácil e rápido de ler.
É o testemunho de uma empresária e gestora de como os negócios podem possuir uma componente ética e de valores que norteie a atividade sem que isso implique perdas de negócio - talvez e até antes pelo contrário, que envolve todos num sistema mais completo e sustentável, especialmente a longo prazo.
O texto, quase sempre numa primeira pessoa algo cansativo, traduz o esforço realizado de forma a implementar o modelo, apresentando os 13 valores associados de forma encadeada.
Com uma preocupação de partilha dos conceitos, deixa pouco ou mesmo nenhum espaço ao como se implementou e ao que foi realmente feito, sendo quase sempre muito superficial nessa tentativa de partihla de estórias que suportem exemplos dos valores enunciados.
Por outro lado, o principal foco da autora é mesmo os seus pares, gestores e administradores de grandes empresas e, nesse contexto, a leitura do livro até que deveria ser obrigatória, numa esperança de conseguir tirar o máximo partdo de um mundo em que negócios e ética raramente partilham os mesmos caminhos e ionde impera um quase total desrespeito pelo individuo e pelo talento (embora no campo das intenções seja o centro de todas as preocupações).
Para o comum dos mortais, é uma leitura acessória e que dificilmente retorna o tempo investido, face à oferta de livros do mesmo género, bem melhores e mais adequados para o profissional (tal como os que se focam na gestão de tempo e na produtividade, por exemplo).

Love Shari’s input on business, spirituality, spiritual enlightenment and doing good through influencing and leading.
This book suggests great reminders for leaders, entrepreneurs, business owners, and all people, really. I enjoyed going on this journey with Shari and I’m glad I stumbled upon this book.
This read felt good, it’s reminded me of important principles and values I hold, yet it wasn’t super practical. Mainly talked about the values themselves, not much about putting them to action.

This book’s subtitle “activate your goodness in business” might be viewed as a swearword in many boardrooms, yet it doesn’t need to be bad. Doing “the right thing” can inspire positive change in a company, leading to even greater things as well as possibly helping others at the same time. It must, however, come from the heart and not just be a tactic on a strategy plan.
This book aims to show business owners how they can “do good” and help on many levels, acting as a call to action as well as providing practical help and assistance towards this goal. Many examples of companies “doing good” are given in a narrative form, so you can see that you may still be a pioneer but not exactly treading into unknown territory.
This is one of those books that you will or won’t form a direct connection to. This reviewer didn’t and couldn’t warm to it; not that it is bad - it is just that it didn’t inspire or set this reader alight with enthusiasm. It was a bit too easy to tune in and out, skipping here and there, yet whilst one wasn’t sold on the idea of “doing good” through this book, it was possible to pick up some good general information and knowledge along the way. The book is reasonably priced so not all is bad and, of course, if you do perceive a need for this kind of book and manage to establish that connection you will be getting a great deal.
The author does take an important subject and seeks to bring this message to a wider audience, so praise must be given. It just didn’t entirely work for this reviewer but it didn’t turn him off the idea either, so all is not lost.
