📚 A refreshing perspective on leadership, success, and power. In Good Company, Arthur Blank — co-founder of The Home Depot and owner of the Atlanta Falcons — draws on his firsthand experience to redefine what it means to run a business with heart.
At its core, the book is about prioritizing people — whether employees, customers, or the community. Blank believes that when businesses focus on their impact rather than just their bottom line, success naturally follows. His advice doesn’t come across as a lecture; instead, he frames his insights like a conversation, making the book feel down-to-earth and engaging.
One of the central themes in the book is sticking to your values, no matter the industry. Blank believes that companies should be about more than just making money. He explores the concept of conscious capitalism, emphasizing that businesses should measure their success not only by profits but also by their impact on society.
Blank isn’t just talking the talk — he’s also using his influence to make meaningful changes. When he bought the Atlanta Falcons, he made season tickets affordable so that all fans could enjoy the game. At the team’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, he ensured that minority-owned businesses had fair opportunities for contracts. And at The Home Depot, he instilled a culture where employees see themselves as leaders, believing that strong businesses are built on respect, inclusion, and community engagement.
