Compassionate Leadership and Purpose-Driven Business
In this episode of Spare a Thought, Tom speaks with Paul Hargreaves, CEO of Cotswold Fayre, a UK-based wholesaler committed to ethical and sustainable business. Paul is also the author of two influential books, Forces for Good, which explores how businesses can help create a better world, and The Fourth Bottom Line, a guide to flourishing in a new era of compassionate leadership.
Together, they discuss how Paul came to found Cotswold Fayre, why businesses can and should be forces for good, and how compassionate leadership can strengthen both company culture and financial performance. The conversation also explores Britain’s broken relationship with food, and how individuals and organisations alike can lead more purposeful, fulfilling lives.
