Profit and Purpose

Financial performance should no longer be the sole pursuit of the corporation. Companies are being pushed to consider the interests of all their stakeholders—including employees, customers, and the community—not just those of their shareholders. Of course, some leaders have long embraced the idea of doing well by doing good. But making that idea a reality has proved challenging.

Though rare, companies that have managed to create both financial and social value do exist: Patagonia and Grameen Bank are two that come quickly to mind. There's no magic to this feat, say Julie Battilana, Anne-Claire Pache, Metin Sengul, and Marissa Kimsey, who have been studying social businesses for more than a decade. In “The Dual-Purpose Playbook” (page 124) they argue that the organizations that pull this off build a commitment to creating both kinds of value into their core activities.
These businesses have mastered what the authors call hybrid organizing—an approach that involves setting and monitoring social and financial goals, structuring the organization to pursue both, hiring employees who can embrace them, and managing with both goals in mind. When the social and the financial come into conflict, managers must make difficult trade-offs that keep the business on the two tracks at once. This involves equal measures of creativity and discipline, aspiration and practicality—which are, after all, the ingredients of great leadership.
