The Rebellious CEO: 12 Leaders Who Did It Right<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Ralph Nader<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of corporate America’s greatest foes shows how 12 CEOs he has known uniquely rejected narrow yardsticks of shareholder value by leading companies to larger models of prosperity and justice

Over the course of 7 decades Ralph Nader has been Corporate America\u2019s fiercest critic. Supreme Court Justice William Powell singled out Nader in his infamous memo as the \u201csingle most effective antagonist of American business\u2026 [the] target of his hatred\u2026 is corporate power.\u201d

But now, in a book that will surprise both his fans and critics, Nader profiles a small group of CEOs who he believes performed extraordinarily well as business leaders and civic reformers, some well-known, some not, who should be celebrated as exceptions whose life and career should be a course of emulation and inspiration for students of business, executives and the wider citizenry.

This select group of mavericks and iconoclasts \u2014 which includes The Body Shop\u2019s Anita Roddick, Patagonia\u2019s Yvon Chouinard, Vanguard\u2019s John Bogle and Busboys and Poets’ Andy Shallal \u2014give us, Nader writes, \u201ca sense of what might have been and what still could be if business were rigorously framed as a process that was not only about making money and selling things but improving our social and natural world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
