Building a Legacy of Generosity: Transforming Business With Your Stewardship Principles

Much has been written about company culture and establishing mission, vision, and values to help businesses grow and become successful. Too often these become just words to put on a website.

Building a Legacy of Generosity offers a unique look at how generosity, driven by values and stewardship principles, will build a company culture that creates a lasting legacy that allows not only the business to flourish, but the people, partners and places that surround the company.

Art Zylstra builds on the foundation of values from his first book, The Noble CFO, and leads you through a world of caring about profits, people, partners and places. How can you build a company that flourishes while leaving a legacy of generosity? Come join the journey.
