Summary
How to unleash 'human magic' and achieve improbable results.



Hubert Joly, former CEO of Best Buy and orchestrator of the retailer's spectacular turnaround, unveils his personal playbook for achieving extraordinary results.



Joly and his team rebuilt the company into one of the nation's favorite employers, vastly increased customer satisfaction, and dramatically grew Best Buy's stock price, while making Best Buy a leader in sustainability and innovation.



In The Heart of Business, Joly shares the philosophy behind the resurgence of Best Buy: pursue a noble purpose, put people at the center of the business, create an environment where every employee can blossom, and treat profit as an outcome, not the goal.



Putting this approach into practice requires radically rethinking how we view work, how we define companies, how we motivate, and how we lead. Joly shares memorable stories, lessons, and practical advice, all drawn from his own personal transformation from a hard-charging McKinsey consultant to a leader who believes in human magic.



The Heart of Business is a timely guide for leaders ready to abandon old paradigms and reinvent capitalism so that it contributes to a sustainable future. Visit TheHeartofBusiness.org to learn more.

As a business book, the concept of purpose-led business is beautifully and clearly conveyed, and inspiring true story with plenty of excellent examples. Initially I was not sure about the narrator as I actually quite enjoyed the author's own voice in the introduction, but it actually did not hinder my enjoyment of the book at all and that is what I score narrators on – do they add or detract from the experience. The narrator actually did neither, I felt the book was just well-conveyed and the narrator served his purpose well.
