Business Development – Time For A New Business Culture?

With big business and its role in our economic crisis still under close scrutiny. Is it time now for a new business culture that puts values and meaning at center stage?

In my new book EVOLVE, I raise this as one of the key questions. Senator Feargal Quinn will launch the book in Dublin on Tuesday, 17th January.

As you know, I am a business development and growth specialist a management accountant, and a certified management consultant, and my work with hundreds of businesses over the years has led me to conclude that everyone has it within themselves to truly succeed in business – to truly succeed.

I’m thrilled that Senator Quinn and Ian Talbot of Chambers Ireland have acclaimed EVOLVE. Tina Roche, CEO of Business in the Community Ireland, has also commended the book. “For some unknown reason, during the last decade, many people parked their values at the door of the job and gave in to the call of Mammon,” says Tina.  “This has led directly to the times of high anxiety we live in now. People are, once again, examining their values.

Do we carry through the principles we espouse in our practice and behaviors? Paul addresses these questions and comes up with interesting conclusions.”

Lifting the veil on our true selves unlocks the potential to align personal values with business success, creating lasting impact as leaders.

For my part, what I contend in the book is that when we lift the veil on who we are as individuals and marry that with our business skills, then we can reach our full potential. By working with this inner knowledge and applying the principles outlined in this book, you can build a successful business. If you get these foundations right, you will have a business that is sustainable for years into the future. From this evolved space, you can make a real difference in your organisations as leaders.

Ian Talbot, CEO of Chambers Ireland, praised the book in his response. He noted that many concepts resonate with readers as qualities they bring or aspire to bring to their business lives. He added that EVOLVE provides a valuable and inspiring holistic approach.

Scientist and author, Dr. David R Hamilton, says the book explains  “how you can harness the forces of destiny and the power of your thoughts to reach your success in business and more importantly in life to make this a better world.”

My publisher Brian O’Kane of Oak Tree Press says “This book opens us up to a world of possibilities that are often ignored in a business context, although they are critical both for businesses and for businesspeople personally as we EVOLVE in the way we do business.”
