The Power of a Business Mind:
Learned to appreciate and respect the power of a business mind.

Purpose. It’s powerful.

200 America’s top business leaders issued: a new definition of the “purpose of a corporation”
Shareholder value is no longer the main focus.
Source: Article by Maggie Fitzgerald via CNBC
The reimagined idea of a corporation drops the age-old notion that corporations function first and foremost to serve their shareholders and maximize profits. Rather, investing in employees, delivering value to customers, dealing ethically with suppliers and supporting outside communities are now at the forefront of American business goals, according to the statement at The Business Roundtable, a group of chief executive officers from major U.S. corporations.

Building an Empire: Les Wexner:
On Building an Empire:
'On not trying to build my business.
The punishment would have been never to be able to try.'
Leslie H. Wexner doesn’t miss a detail.
An all-consuming curiosity and acute powers of observation for spotting slight shifts in popular culture and consumer behavior have enabled the chairman and chief executive officer of L Brands to take a groundbreaking fashion concept and morph it into a juggernaut, embracing fine fragrance, bath, body and personal care, plus home fragrance. The result: 2015 retail sales of an estimated $4.7 billion — one-third of the $12.15 billion grand total for L Brands sales.
This story first appeared in the June 8, 2016 issue of WWD:
A freewheeling interview with Leslie Wexner reveals a sharp eye, a well-read mind and enough curiosity to build an empire.
Les Wexner bought the town of New Albany, Ohio.
New Albany was founded in 1837, but its story really begins in the late 1980s, when Wexner was looking for somewhere to build a country home. The Columbus, Ohio, native spent weekends scouring central Ohio for the perfect spot to construct his rural getaway. That’s how he found New Albany—which was then only “a community of plain topography,” as Wexner put it in a written response to emailed questions.
After buying 30 acres and then an additional 30, Wexner became “intrigued” with building something larger. It was dirt-cheap at the time. A 90-acre plot for his mansion was valued by the county auditor at $192,300 in 1987, a couple of years before Wexner bought it. That same parcel—land and property—is now valued at $45.6 million.
