The Meaning Revolution

Fred’s teachings changed my career and my life. He is one of the most extraordinary thinkers on leadership and management I have ever encountered. * Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO and founder of LeanIn.Org & OptionB.Org *
Fred is one of the most enlightened people I’ve met in business. Over the last decade, he has consistently provided me insights that have changed the way I see myself and connect with others. The Meaning Revolution will do the same for you. * Jeff Weiner, CEO of LinkedIn *
Kofman argues that vocational growth and personal growth are inextricable, and he is well positioned to make that argument. . . . You can’t read this book without asking yourself deep and invaluable questions about your life and your calling. * Robert Wright, senior lecturer at Princeton; author of THE EVOLUTION OF GOD, THE MORAL ANIMAL, NONZERO, and WHY BUDDHISM IS TRUE *
The Meaning Revolution reminds us of the importance of moral authority, trust, compassion, and integrity for effective leadership. Well written and insightful, the book is a must-read for all those interested in leadership. * Drew Fudenberg (professor of economics, MIT) and Jean Tirole (Nobel Laureate in economics, Toulouse School of Economics); authors of GAME THEORY *
As Fred Kofman makes brilliantly clear in The Meaning Revolution, real leadership is not about hitting your numbers—it’s about creating a culture of purpose and meaning, and inspiring others to realize that they can make a lasting difference in the world around them. * Arianna Huffington *
Welcome to the rigorously reasoned, deeply heartfelt, and always enlightening mind of Fred Kofman. Trained as an economist, with stops along the way as a management professor and consultant, Fred’s official title at LinkedIn is vice president of executive development. But I have a shorter name for what he does. I call him the High Priest of Capitalism. * Reid Hoffman, founder and former chairman of LinkedIn; board member of Microsoft (from his introduction) *
I believe culture needs to be about realizing personal passions and using the company as a platform to pursue those passions. Fred Kofman explores that notion even more deeply through vivid stories and truly profound reflections on business leadership and conscious capitalism. Read on! * Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft *
Fred has accomplished a great feat. He has integrated rationality and spirituality to show how transcendent leadership is the key for humanity to prosper in peace. * John Mackey, founder and former CEO of Whole Foods *
