Biography
Ed Mayo
This is why “Values - how to bring values to life in your business” by Ed Mayo (Greenleaf Publishing)” is so timely and a ‘must read’ for leaders and influencers in every sector. As one might expect from any book that has been typed on Ed’s keyboard, the phrases quite literally ‘shout out’ at the reader, and makes her or him pause and question their own value set. And more importantly, how far they live up to the values they would claim to hold. Ed’s own values and commitment to a value based world come across strongly and are thankfully contagious. - The Huffington Post - John Tizard
In his new book on values and business leadership, Ed Mayo, the Secretary-General of Cooperatives UK and former head of the New Economics Foundation, shows why values should not be treated as a public relations gloss, but ought to be integrated into every enterprise as the main driving force….Alas, even for those who believe that values are important in business, there is all often too big a gap between aspiration and action. But Mayo’s book has a few handy tips to bridge it. The one on testing the empathy of potential recruits is particularly pertinent as values have to be advanced by everyone in an enterprise. To succeed, a values-driven business must be sustained by people who care about improving the lives of others. - Question the Powerful - Henry Tam
