As they become more authentic businesses, they become less authentic human endeavors.

Convergent business organization makes a lot of people mad. But some things just don’t scale or grow with the business. And one thing business leaders will never do is make less money so that’s why they will always look for ways to grow.

True, some business models frustrate people. But growth doesn’t have to mean cutting ethics—some companies scale while staying fair and sustainable. Profit drives decisions, but accountability and better models do exist.
