They do not invest in the needs of the future or in the public good; they are motivated by greed and invest only in personal gain. However, they are often hugely “successful” at making themselves rich. Which kind of “success” do you admire? What does that say about your values?

Business hacks dismantle and destroy operations, disempower their workforce, and ultimately run their businesses into the ground, bankrupting or greatly destabilizing them. They “stiff” workers and suppliers, place no value on their people or their expertise, and cut corners every chance they get.

They support the needs of the community and public they serve, and are known for making philanthropic investments in society as a whole. They invest in the future: of themselves, their businesses, and the world they live in.

Truly successful business leaders invest money and energy in their operations and their people; they empower their workforce and do everything to ensure its stability; they enable their businesses to grow and flourish.
