People Over Profit by Dale Partridge

Synopsis

In People Over Profit, entrepreneur and business leader Dale Partridge challenges the traditional corporate mindset and presents a compelling argument for businesses to prioritize ethics, integrity, and people over short-term profits. He explores how companies that focus on honesty, transparency, and customer value achieve long-term success while also making a positive impact on society.

Partridge provides a framework for businesses to shift from outdated profit-driven models to a new era of socially responsible, people-first entrepreneurship. He examines the cyclical nature of corporate greed and how businesses repeatedly fall into the same patterns—losing their way when financial gain takes precedence over ethical decision-making. By analyzing historical business trends, he identifies key phases: Honest Era, Efficient Era, Deceptive Era, and Apologetic Era—showing how companies can break free from the cycle of dishonesty.

Through real-world case studies, personal experiences, and insightful wisdom, Partridge demonstrates that profitability and ethics are not mutually exclusive. Instead, businesses that genuinely care about their employees, customers, and communities earn trust, loyalty, and long-term prosperity.
