‘You’re likely to sell what? Empty Boxes?’

Back in 1978, Kip Tindell (Chairman & CEO of The Container Store) and his companions had the vision that people were wanting to find answers to conserve both space and period – and they were definitely onto something. A fresh category of the retailing sector was created – storage and organization. Today, with stores nationwide and with more than 5,000 loyal employees, the business couldn’t end up being stronger. Over time, The Container Shop has been lauded for about Uncontainable: How Passion, Dedication, and Conscious Capitalism Built a Business Where Everyone Thrives its commitment to its workers and concentrate on its original concept and inventory combine as the formula for its achievement. But for Tindell, the target never has been development for growth’s sake. Rather, it is to adhere to the business’s values-based business philosophies, which center on an employee-first lifestyle, superior customer service and rigorous merchandising. The Container Store continues to be named on Lot of money magazine’s ‘100 Best Companies To Work For’ list for 15 consecutive years. Better still, The Container Shop has an incredible number of loyal customers.

In Uncontainable, Tindell reveals his approach for building a business where everyone associated with it thrives through embodying the tenets of Conscious Capitalism. Tindell’s seven Foundation Principles are the roadmap that drives everyone on the Container Store to achieve the goals of the business. Uncontainable displays how various other businesses can adapt this process toward what Tindell calls the most profitable, sustainable and fun way of conducting business. Tindell is usually that rare CEO who fully embraces the ‘Golden Rule’ of business – where all stakeholders – employees, customers, suppliers, shareholder, the community – are effective through a harmonic balance of win-wins.
