It’s a company that had humble beginnings in the American South, making and selling the best-tasting biscuits in the land. Now, it is quickly on its way to becoming the quick service equivalent of L.L. Bean in its growth and business ethics. In contrast to corporations shamed by recent financial misfortunes, Biscuitville, the company, is a model for how America should do business in the future. Biscuitville, the book, is packed full of insights into how companies must operate in order to be successful as America and, indeed, the world, emerges into a new business environment. CEO’s can no longer operate in the charismatic, imperial way that brought them to their current ruin. Corporations, regardless of size, cannot arrogantly go about “business as usual” without regard for appropriate financial controls and the interests of employees and stakeholders. Biscuitville: Our Secret Recipe For Building A Sustainable Competitive Advantage is for anyone who is serious about managing a profitable, ethical company that values people and profits through participatory leadership utilizing “soft power.”
