Broadcaster, author, and high-street hero Mary Portas is highly respected for her business expertise. She’s equally respected for her honesty in admitting that a whole raft of commercial practices she espoused during her earlier career are simply wrong. As she puts it, “I’ve fueled the fire.” Portas has a new book out, which is called "Rebuild: How to thrive in the new Kindness Economy," She's argues that we need a new way of doing business, one that uses kindness, principles, respectfulness and creativity.
