Drawing heavily on the much vaunted John Lewis Partnership model, as well as looking at best practice from other companies, this book is about inclusive capitalism, which is about getting people in and on in work. Acting responsibly to all stakeholders is central to this theme, with employees, the most important stakeholder, the driver of it all. This book is about that other way, a fairer way… A sustainable way. Delivered in easy to digest sections, part one of the book looks at the principle, while part two explains how to deliver the theory in practical terms, using six steps.

Divided into fifteen chapters each containing around ten fables, this is a heartwarming (and highly instructive) look at best practice in business and how to learn from your mistakes. Ranging from chapters on Starting out to Striking a Balance and Culture is Everything to Growing a Business.

Instructive tales with morals such as: It is hard to serve two masters; Under-promise and over-deliver; It is the journey, not the destination, which brings real happiness. There is much to be learned from these heartwarming and amusing stories
