Synopsis
Some business books try to teach success in a competitive marketplace. In The Company We Keep, John Abrams shows how a company can flourish as a part of a thriving community of people dependent on one another. His eight cornerstone principles, including employee ownership and long-term thinking, express the entrepreneurial spirit as a potent force for change with profitable results that extend across multiple bottom lines.Part visionary business plan, part guide to democratizing the workplace, and part prescription for strong local economies, The Company We Keep marks the debut of an important new voice in American business.With a craftsman s eye, a storyteller s sensibility, and a CEO s pragmatism, he brings his experience to bear on the challenges faced by progressive small businesses everywhere.

About the Author
John Abrams is the president and CEO of South Mountain Company, an employee-owned design/build firm on Martha s Vineyard, Massachusetts. South Mountain won the 2005 Business Ethics magazine s award for workplace democracy.
From the Inside Flap
Unabashedly personal, written in an unaffected and engaging manner far from any utopian script, Abrams work is a compelling and celebratory reminder that companies like South Mountain are desperately needed in a time of real estate boom and inevitable bust and the ruins left in their wake. The Company We Keep should be required reading for every island from small towns and urban neighborhoods and community planners about the still small possibility of building enduring cathedrals in our everyday lives. The Bloomsbury Review
