A pioneering venture capitalist provides an actionable framework for founders and executives to create innovative, enduring companies built for growth and for societal good.The Milton Friedman philosophy that companies exist only to increase shareholder value is dead and buried. The old Silicon Valley tenets of "move fast and break things," minimum viable products, and hyper engagement at any cost must be replaced with new principles for an era of responsible innovation. We can no longer manage businesses solely for growth. With innovation comes responsibility: to generate returns beyond profits and to recenter technology as a force for good in the world. This requires a shift in the way organizations approach and value work.A company's mindset-its intent to do good, avoid harmful consequences, and innovate responsibly-is not enough. That mindset must be supported by a business model, a mechanism that leaders must intentionally and proactively build along with the company from the ground up, one that incentivizes and rewards the organization for fulfilling its intentions. Companies need a new set of KCIs, or key consequence indicators, that measure factors such as its impact on customers' energy consumption, whether its product is being used equally across socioeconomic groups, or if it is actually solving the social problem it is addressing. Not only is this the right thing to do-increasingly, it is what customers, employees, and shareholders demand of business.In this inspiring, practical, and actionable guide, Hemant Taneja:lays out the argument for why a new model of company building and leadership is necessary-and how it can lead to better performanceexplores why social-good businesses are some of the greatest opportunities today, detailing examples of billion-dollar startups that are addressing inequality, climate change, systemic societal problems, and chronic disease-all while generating profit and positive shareholder returnspresents a topic-by-topic road map that addresses business models, artificial intelligence, ethical growth, culture, governance, and good citizenshipIntended Consequences is designed as the ultimate playbook for founders, entrepreneurs, leadership teams, and investors on how to build and maintain a responsible innovation company.

When everyone has a story to tell, the Kuaishou way provides technological expertise with equality and inclusionFrom its launch in 2011 as a means to share animated images, Kuaishou has become one of the world's largest livestreaming platforms. Every day, tens of millions of short videos are uploaded to the Kuaishou app to be seen by more than 300 million viewers. But through all this explosive growth, one guiding principle has shaped Kuaishou's role as a pioneer in the global short-video industry: technology must be available for all, "enabling every life to be seen."Rather than focusing on the latest hot topic or celebrity publicity stunt, Kuaishou opens a window onto numerous unique lives, always striving to ensure equitable access to those who have been digitally underserved or neglected.

From the cofounder of the longest-running Bitcoin exchange comes a compelling argument for how this digital currency will transform the global economy-and how it can work for you.A financial revolution is materializing before our eyes. The way individuals, organizations, and governments conduct transactions-from purchasing a book online to acquiring major corporations to delivering billions in financial aid-will look vastly different in the near future. Bitcoin is spearheading this revolution and may be the best investment opportunity of our time, yet most people have yet to understand its promise. In this book, Bobby C. Lee, one of the earliest, most successful pioneers in the cryptocurrency space, debunks myths and dispels fears that surround Bitcoin, arguing that this rational, logical system is superior to traditional monetary systems. He cites signs of Bitcoin's widening acceptance: a growing community of users worldwide and multiple initiatives for investing in and holding bitcoin among major financial services organizations and institutional investors who control trillions in assets. Lee offers a primer on the best strategies for investing in this digital currency, the value of which will only continue to grow. He discusses the pros and cons, and covers the complicated yet more profitable method of acquiring bitcoin, mining. He offers predictions for the future, including price, trajectory, use, and participation in the larger economy-as well as developments in regulation, technology, business, and society. Invest in the promise of Bitcoin today.

The complete guide to handling emotionally charged patient conversations with the empathy vulnerable people deserveThe Clinician's Guide to Empathy helps you approach tough conversations with patients in a new, more effective way-by understanding and recognizing their emotion and perspective, and then communicating that recognition clearly and without fear. The authors define empathy on an operational level-rather than a theoretical, scientific, or conceptual level-and provide the actionable advice you need to make empathy the central focus when faced with denial, questions about prognosis, existential concerns, difficult family dynamics, anger, and nonmedical opiate use. Each chapter, authored by an experienced expert in their field, is anchored by a story that clearly illustrated how empathy can unfold in the clinical setting. Vignettes throughout provide sample dialogue and specific examples of actual words to use in specific situations. Trained to solve problems, clinicians often have difficulty expressing empathy to their patients. This guide provides a new way of approaching that problem-not as a technician but as a fellow human being. Much more than a guide to breaking bad news or a brief overview of all communication skills, The Clinician's Guide to Empathy is a must-read for almost anyone connected to the healthcare industry.
