- Kurztext
- Praise for Raising the Bar "What makes this book worth reading is that he's as honest about his mistakes as his successes." Newsweek "Best Mom & Pop business in America" Reader's Digest America's 100 Best "Gary Erickson realizes that businesses have tremendous power to harm or protect the natural world, our common home. I applaud the efforts of Gary and Clif Bar to develop business practices that promote an ethic of global responsibility." Mikhail S. Gorbachev, chairman, Green Cross International "Gary Erickson believes that doing good and doing business should go hand in hand. Raising the Bar tells the inspiring story of a scrappy company's battle to stay privately owned and to better its people, the community, and the planet in the process." Ben Cohen, cofounder, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, and president, TrueMajority.org "This is a beautiful book about courage, commitment, integrity, and vision. It is also a story that reminds us that one person does make a difference by leading the way through the inspiration of the heart." Julia Butterfly Hill, author, The Legacy of Luna "Gary Erickson's story is sheer inspiration. Reading it makes you want to ride a bike up a high mountain, dust off your musical instrument and join a jazz band, or launch an outrageous company. This is a life manual masquerading as a business book." David Batstone, author, Saving the Corporate Soul; professor of ethics, University of San Francisco "In Raising the Bar, Gary Erickson's incredible journey raises our expectations of corporate America and most importantly our hope for a better world." Jeanne Rizzo, R.N., executive director, The Breast Cancer Fund
