We can have success without positively contributing to our customers, to each other, or to our society. Value creation is not value extraction. In business we need to be aware of the fine line between the two. Value creation offers the possibility to share with customers and society. Too much value extraction is exploitation. WHY BE IN BUSINESS?• Care for people, for society, for details, and for data.• Courage to take risks, to be vulnerable, to face the unpleasant, to start all over again.• Contribution to customers, people, and society.• Make a living.OTHER INTERESTPhysical and mental health in practice and theory.
