“You can’t plant the tree on the day that you need it.” That’s how Andy Powers, CEO of Taylor Guitars, thinks about building a company that lasts. Taylor invests in trees a century before it might need the wood. That same thinking shaped its transition to employee ownership: a plan built around a 70-year cycle, designed to benefit future hires alongside longtime employees. The question guiding those decisions: What will we be glad we did decades from now? On The Eric Ries Show, Andy and I explore what changes when a company’s ownership, culture, and supply chain all support the same long-term purpose.

I love this comment because at first I was like, "Come on, what are you talking about?" But the more I thought about it, the more I started questioning whether modern shareholder capitalism actually reflects the entrepreneurial ideals we associate with it. We celebrate entrepreneurs for taking risks, creating value, and building businesses that serve customers. Yet many public companies operate under pressure from large institutional shareholders whose priorities may be very different. If the purpose of entrepreneurship is to create something meaningful, shouldn't companies be accountable to the people they serve rather than simply responding to Wall Street? Maybe it's time to rethink what ownership and accountability should look like. #Incorruptible #leadership #business
