@ntnsndr Yeah good read, but I take issue with the conclusion in the last paragraph; “More organizations, whether nonprofit or for-profit, should focus on providing an important function in a sustainable manner, rather than growing for the sake of growth.”
If a company is for-profit then it’s locked-in to putting profit above all else. Have as much triple bottom line accounting or ‘company values’ as you like, but if there’s a choice between impact and profit, profit takes priority.
