Uldrich’s unrivaled, fast-paced manifesto not only explains why “business as unusual” will be the new normal, but also unpacks a series of uncommon and unorthodox actions designed to help you create and unleash a future of unparalleled success. To navigate the future, business leaders must • be AWARE of how technological , economic, social, cultural, and political trends are accelerating, burgeoning, and converging; • have HUMILITY to the idea that what worked yesterday might not be sufficient tomorrow; • take ACTION to create a new and better future. Business as Unusual reveals that the future is the one thing that everyone can change. To find success in business, you must believe the unbelievable, think about the unthinkable, listen to the unconventional, and question the unquestionable.

Anita Roddick is one of the world's most outspoken, controversial and successful businesswomen. Business as Unusual turns the tables on the way society looks at business and forges a move toward greater corporate responsibility and accountability.

She talks openly about the greed culture of the 90s, The Body Shop vs. Shell, Trade Not Aid (the pleasures and pitfalls of trading with indigenous communities), taking on the US, creating community both within and outside the workplace, how to campaign for human rights in the business environment and women in business. Ranging from personal issues - such as self-esteem - to wider political issues like the human rights abuses associated with globalization, Roddick offers her own vision for dealing with the demands of ethical business. Roddick believes we should never underestimate the power of the individual to create change.
