Uncontainable: How Passion, Commitment, and Conscious Capitalism Built a Business Where Everyone Thrives
Autor Kip Tindell Cu Casey Shilling, Paul Keeganen Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 oct 2014
Back in 1978, Kip Tindell (Chairman & CEO of The Container Store) and his partners had the vision that people were eager to find solutions to save both space and time - and they were definitely onto something. A new category of the retailing industry was born - storage and organization. Today, with stores nationwide and with more than 5,000 loyal employees, the company couldn't be stronger. Over the years, The Container Store has been lauded for its commitment to its employees and focus on its original concept and inventory mix as the formula for its success. But for Tindell, the goal never has been growth for growth's sake. Rather, it is to adhere to the company's values-based business philosophies, which center on an employee-first culture, superior customer service and strict merchandising. The Container Store has been named onFortune magazine's"100 Best Companies To Work For" list for 15 consecutive years. Even better, The Container Store has millions of loyal customers.
InUncontainable, Tindell reveals his approach for building a business where everyone associated with it thrives through embodying the tenets of Conscious Capitalism. Tindell's seven Foundation Principles are the roadmap that drives everyone at The Container Store to achieve the goals of the company.Uncontainableshows how other businesses can adapt this approach toward what Tindell calls the most profitable, sustainable and fun way of doing business. Tindell is that rare CEO who fully embraces the "Golden Rule" of business - where all stakeholders - employees, customers, vendors, shareholder, the community - are successful through a harmonic balance of win-wins.

Kip
Tindell's

of
Yvon
Chouinard'sLet

Something
That

Muhammad

Business.These
are
all
leaders
who
believe
that
treating
people
with
respect
is
the
path
to
true
success
and
have
spread
that
message
in
really
good
books

InUncontainable,Tindell
clearly
lays
out
The
Container
Store's
path
to
streamlining
that
hard
work,
and
he
does
it
with

as
passionate

as
you
will
find
in
any
business

read
this

that,
or..."—800-CEO-READ
"The
book
is
an
enjoyable
read
that
doesn't
uniformly
fall
into
the
sometimes
dry
and
buttoned-up
business
management
genre.
Tindell
and
his
co-authors
offer
creative
company-culture
secrets
and
tips
of
the
trade
that
can
be
applied
to
businesses
in
other
industries.
And,
the
book's
jovial
tone
should
be
taken
as
a
nod
to
the
oft-overlooked
idea
that
running
a
business
can
be
fun,
too."
