• Businessman Chris Lautenslager says companies should prioritize purpose as much as profits
• “Allowing all Americans to be justly rewarded for their contributions to their work”
(Total Recorded Time is 14:35)
In this audio-only episode of Bizgnus Interviews, we talk with Chicago businessman Chris Lautenslager.
He stresses that he’s a through and through capitalist but one who sees better ways for the economic system to work for more people.
Mr. Lautenslager says the extraordinary wealthy rarely share the credit or their wealth with the employees, vendors and community that made organizational success a reality.
Mr. Lautenslager, who has a masters degree in finance and economics from Northwestern University, says he feels it’s his mission to help redefine the hierarchical, shareholder-first corporate model and foster companies that prioritize purpose as importantly as profits.
He is the founder of Get Looped, a platform to showcase the value and benefits of a collective prosperity for people, businesses and communities.
Today, he helps businesses and CEOs incorporate prosperity with profitability into their business practices.
And the changes he calls for might be just in time. The Harris Poll in a survey of some17,000 U.S. adults in 2020 found that only a quarter believed that the current form of capitalism ensures the greater good of society.
“It’s not that capitalism doesn’t work or that the drive to create a highly profitable organization can’t be,” he says. “Quite the contrary, it is the revision of capitalism and the creation of a common vision through the guiding principles of Get Looped and supporting partner organizations, that we foster balanced, thriving businesses by allowing all Americans to be justly rewarded for their contributions to their work and their lives.”
He is the author of the book “The Prosperity Loop,” (Redwood Publishing LLC, October 2022.)
