<\/a>Quick Take:<\/strong> Aneel Bhusri, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at Workday, joined \u201cThe Inflection Point,\u201d hosted by Monica Langley, EVP, Salesforce. The two discussed the impact of culture, optimism, and why businesses need to have a soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the impact?:<\/strong> Stakeholder Capitalism is a hot topic in today\u2019s corporate conversations and Bhusri knows that it takes more than just strategy and profits to succeed.  The right culture and a positive mindset can bring out the \u201csoul\u201d of your company \u2014 if you want to have a positive impact on your employees, customers and community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What he\u2019s saying:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere’s no way to start a company without optimism. Winston Churchill had a great quote during World War II: \u2018I choose to be an optimist because, basically, the other choice is not very good.\u2019\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you have the right culture, people get together, they have an open mind, they put all their thoughts forward and you can collectively come up with the right strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVery importantly, we want to take care of the community, and I think that that last piece is a big part of stakeholder capitalism.  And that last piece is where you need a soul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
