Hardback. Condition: Good. WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLERA pioneering venture capitalist provides an actionable framework for founders and executives to create innovative, enduring companies built for growth and for societal good.The Milton Friedman philosophy that companies exist only to increase shareholder value is dead and buried. The old Silicon Valley tenets of ?move fast and break things,? minimum viable products, and hyper engagement at any cost must be replaced with new principles for an era of responsible innovation. We can no longer manage businesses solely for growth. With innovation comes responsibility: to generate returns beyond profits and to recenter technology as a force for good in the world. This requires a shift in the way organizations approach and value work.A company?s mindset?its intent to do good, avoid harmful consequences, and innovate responsibly?is not enough. That mindset must be supported by a business model, a mechanism that leaders must intentionally and proactively build along with the company from the ground up, one that incentivizes and rewards the organization for fulfilling its intentions. Companies need a new set of KCIs, or key consequence indicators, that measure factors such as its impact on customers? energy consumption, whether its product is being used equally across socioeconomic groups, or if it is actually solving the social problem it is addressing. Not only is this the right thing to do?increasingly, it is what customers, employees, and shareholders demand of business.In this inspiring, practical, and actionable guide, Hemant Taneja:lays out the argument for why a new model of company building and leadership is necessary?and how it can lead to better performanceexplores why social-good businesses are some of the greatest opportunities today, detailing examples of billion-dollar startups that are addressing inequality, climate change, systemic societal problems, and chronic disease?all while generating profit and positive shareholder returnspresents a topic-by-topic road map that addresses business models, artificial intelligence, ethical growth, culture, governance, and good citizenshipIntended Consequences is designed as the ultimate playbook for founders, entrepreneurs, leadership teams, and investors on how to build and maintain a responsible innovation company.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Unscaled identifies the forces that are reshaping the global economy and turning one of the fundamental laws of business and society -- the economies of scale -- on its head. An innovative trend combining technology with economics is unraveling behemoth industries -- including corporations, banks, farms, media conglomerates, energy systems, governments, and schools-that have long dominated business and society. Size and scale have become a liability. A new generation of upstarts is using artificial intelligence to automate tasks that once required expensive investment, and "renting" technology platforms to build businesses for hyper-focused markets, enabling them to grow big without the bloat of giant organizations. In Unscaled, venture capitalist Hemant Taneja explains how the unscaled phenomenon allowed Warby Parker to cheaply and easily start a small company, build a better product, and become a global competitor in no time, upending entrenched eyewear giant Luxottica. It similarly enabled Stripe to take on established payment processors throughout the world, and Livongo to help diabetics control their disease while simultaneously cutting the cost of treatment. The unscaled economy is remaking massive, deeply rooted industries and opening up fantastic possibilities for entrepreneurs, imaginative companies, and resourceful individuals. It can be the model for solving some of the world's greatest problems, including climate change and soaring health-care costs, but will also unleash new challenges that today's leaders must address. …

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Capitalism has long focused on generating profits, believing that positive impact should be left to non-profits and governments. But in the 2020s, positive impact and exceptional returns are inextricably tied. And this new reality needs a new set of principles - impact principles - to guide decision-making for investors, company-builders and anyone navigating a career as they venture beyond. General Catalyst CEO Hemant Taneja has developed these principles throughout his life, and they have helped General Catalyst - with 30 billion dollars in assets - fund, found and nurture some of the most exciting companies of the past two decades, while having a powerful positive impact on society. In The Impact Principles, Taneja explains in detail the nine principles behind his firm's outsized success in investing and industry transformation. The principles will help readers: Understand the critical importance of a company's soul; Navigate through the inevitable twists and turns when creating a new future for us; See through trends that don't matter and focus on what truly matters for enduring success; Help build companies that solve society's hardest problems, making capitalism a force for good; Lean into their better angels, confident that leading with curiosity and generosity results in extraordinary success. Moving forward, the most enduring successes will come from those companies whose tangible benefits to the world naturally result in compounding returns. Equipped with these nine principles, any individual or organization will be able to see through trends and short-term thinking and instead focus on long-term success that lasts for generations to come. …
