In this episode, Steven Morris and Chris Cooper discusses:
- What is Elevation and why is it important?
- Key things that leaders must know
- Income-focused businesses versus Beautiful Businesses
- Creating a legacy with your business
Key Takeaways:
- Elevation is an inner journey in the leader to be the best version of themselves and to inspire their members to be the best version of themselves too. It’s taking something to a new level, where it’s never been before.
- Be a “we” oriented leader, address global issues in a way that transcends the “me” part of the equation.
- Focus on making money in your company and you’ll end up having a lot of money but losing a lot of people. Business can be more than just profit, it can be an avenue in which you and your team can serve the world in one shape or form.
- Think beyond growth, think about legacy. How would you want to have impacted the world when you’re past the finish line?
"Beautiful businesses is something that flows and it flows downstream, together, and creates something special for it’s communities, customers, and people" — Chris Cooper
“In compassion and grace, be like the sun...
In concealing others’ faults, be like the night...
In generosity and helping others, be like a river...
In anger and fury, be like the dead...
In modesty and humility, be like the earth...
In tolerance, be like the sea...
Either appear as you are, or be as you appear..”
— Rumi
