And the results could not come at a more relevant time.
These days, many young business leaders aspire to make a positive impact on society. A survey last year of 1,500 MBAs by Bain & Company, the consultancy firm, found 66% of women and 59% of men prioritized “impact” over wealth and prestige.

“They want more meaning in their careers,” he says.
