Epidemiologists love to crunch numbers - and Americans, on the whole, love to ignore them. Even the most health-conscious among us soon grow numb to the storm of statistics warning us about rising levels of obesity or falling levels of exercise or all the other numerical indicators that tell us how unwell we're getting. But on Sept. 14, a team of researchers released a new finding that should cause even the most data-weary folks alarm...
...good as you kick butt is the essence of Harvard Business School scholar Rosabeth Moss Kanter's prescription for corporations. After a three-year study that included 350 interviews and observations in 20 countries, Kanter applauds a socially conscious way of doing business that combines pragmatism and idealism with the bottom line.
