As Group Chief People Officer operating in an era defined by volatility, technological disruption, and declining institutional credibility, I believe Maximum Purpose, Maximum Profit by Rajeev Peshawaria offers a timely and practical blueprint for leadership. Steward leadership reframes the false trade-off between profit and purpose, showing how long-term resilience, ethical integrity, and interdependence can become competitive advantages. Leaders who embed purpose into strategy and culture will build enduring organizations that attract talent, earn trust, and outperform over time. This book challenges leaders not to sacrifice ambition, but to channel it—maximising profit by maximising purpose for a collective better future.
