Values Based Leaders have a Wider Perspective • “... the distinguishing feature of “firms of endearment” is that they treat all stakeholders—employees, customers, investors, partners, and society—equally. In addition, they fully recognize that they are a part of an economic ecosystem with many interdependent participants. They are committed to exemplary citizenship, and they embrace the concept of servant leadership.
