In this episode, Tami Simon speaks with the professor, author of 16 books, and cofounder of the conscious capitalism movement—whose research in Firms of Endearment showed that mission-driven companies outperform the market—about his new book, Healing Leaders, and the seven-step spiral that took him into the deepest inner work of his life at age 60. Together, they explore: ·Why "false profits" mask the true cost of business as usual—in burnout, stress, and lives ·The four pillars of conscious capitalism, and why they only work in combination ·Strength without love is tyranny; love without strength is ineffective ·What happened when four trusted women asked Raj how he could write a book on healing without healing himself ·LIST: the acronym for love, innocence, simplicity, and truth that came to him in the Amazon ·"Choose your past"—the counterintuitive step that moves a leader out of victimhood ·Why your trauma isn't your fault, but healing it is your responsibility ·How to conduct a layoff with love, and the company that furloughed instead of firing ·FIFCO, Barry-Wehmiller, and what healing organizations actually look like in practice ·Why this backlash moment is a test of how deeply we believe in these principles Whether you lead a team of three or three thousand, Raj makes a bracing case that the inner work you keep postponing is the most generous thing you can do for the people who depend on you.
