Summary

Tap the power of purpose to transform your business―and the world。

Business is changing。 The call for business leaders to address the world’s problems has never been more urgent。

As a business leader, you spend much of your time dedicated to guiding the growth of your company。 This step-by-step guide gives you tools to apply the same focus to improving the lives around you – by igniting your company’s purpose into action。 This book helps chart your course to leaving a legacy of impact and using your company’s powers for good。

As corporations make up a growing segment of the global economy, business leaders are increasingly tasked with solving the world’s toughest problems。

You may be searching for that perfect formula: to use the capabilities of your business to strengthen communities while driving value back to your business。

Your company’s superpowers, or the very thing that cause your customers and employees to shout your praises, also creates transformational social impact when channeled effectively。 Magnify Your Impact gives you a blueprint for social impact that drives real business results。

We have been behind the curtain with the world’s most well-known brands, as well as emerging brands just charting their course。 In our work with hundreds of companies, one thing is clear: social impact―the living, breathing manifestation of your company’s core purpose―must be part of the DNA of your business strategy。

At any stage of your business, with profit as the engine of your company and purpose as the jet fuel, you can create a lasting legacy, and long-term returns。

I just finished Magnify Your Impact, highlighting the critical role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in business。 This is so much more than a cursory explanation of CSR。 Instead, the authors hand the reader a practical step-by-step guide for developing a successful CSR strategy that can be implemented across businesses of all sizes -- from the corner shop to the professional sports team, transcending international boundaries and cultures。 I believe even churches can benefit as much from I just finished Magnify Your Impact, highlighting the critical role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in business。 This is so much more than a cursory explanation of CSR。 Instead, the authors hand the reader a practical step-by-step guide for developing a successful CSR strategy that can be implemented across businesses of all sizes -- from the corner shop to the professional sports team, transcending international boundaries and cultures。 I believe even churches can benefit as much from implementing this concept, as well as individuals who use the "blueprint" to make a difference in their neighborhood。 The book is an excellent read for anyone interested in learning more about using business resources to make this world a better place while simultaneously improving their business reputation, culture, employee satisfaction, performance, relationships with business partners, as well as its generated income。 It is a great read! 。。。more

Informational, inspiring, implementable are three words I would use to describe this piece of art that Maggie and Hannah have crafted。 I have read many books on this topic, and I can safely say this one trumps all! Rather than simply theorize, this book provides practical business examples to turn reader into leader。 Grateful to have stumbled upon this。

Magnify Your Impact is something that every business should have on hand and refer to regularly。 This book is an essential guide to help companies bridges the gap between what their propose is and what they are actually practicing。 The ‘Chief Troublemaker’ and ‘Chief Optimist’ combine forces in this dynamic and inspirational book to help companies of all sizes to succeed while building up their employees and communities。 A must read!

In today’s world, businesses and individuals are craving ways to do better and lead a more purpose driven life。 This book clearly outlines ways to get there for businesses, organizations, and individuals looking to step out and lead in their communities and the world at large。 A definite read for anyone looking to tap into your “company’s superpowers”, as Magnify Your Impact calls them, and create transformational social impact。 I’m recommending this to all my fellow business leaders。
