Reputation cost

Missed opportunity

A generation of people

around the world, from

Boston to Bangkok, from

New York to New Delhi,

are making everyday

choices in ways that defy

traditional logic. This

new generation believes

they can and must make

the world better, and they

expect business and

government to get with

the program.

“If I’d only learned in

college that being nice was

good for business I’d have

done it years ago…

As long as it boosts

profitability I don’t think

there is any limit to my

niceness.”

Harry Brignull 2016
