The Common Good podcast is a conversation about the significance of place, eliminating economic isolation and structures of belonging. Brad Wise is the host for this episode. He was a Common Good Collective Fellowship participant and he runs an organization called Wolf House Fables.

Today's episode is a live conversation, hosted by Bobby Slattery at Fifty West Brewing Company in Cincinnati, between Ari Weinzweig and Peter Block. They talked about Ari’s new pamphlet A Revolution of Dignity in the Twenty-First Century Workplace.

Ari is the CEO and co-founding partner of Zingerman’s Community of Businesses. Ari's unique leadership approach earned him the distinction as one of “The World's 10 Top CEOs (They Lead in a Totally Unique Way)”, and he has written numerous books, including A Lapsed Anarchist’s Approach to Building a Great Business and A Lapsed Anarchist's Approach to the Power of Beliefs in Business.

Six Elements of Dignity:

1. Honor the essential humanity of everyone we work with.
2. Be authentic in all our interactions (without acting out).
3. Make sure everyone has a meaningful say.
4. Begin every interaction with positive beliefs.
5. Commit to helping everyone get to greatness.
6. Create an effective application of equity.
