Equipping leaders to build a kinder capitalism with ethical decisions, engagement, and culture change.
Dr. Valerie L. Myers cultivates leaders worth following,
teams worth emulating, and organizations that serve humanity.
CULTIVATING LEADERS FOR KINDER CAPITALISM
Leaders have the capacity to help mend our fraying social fabric through daily decisions and actions, with effects that ripple far beyond the workplace. My goal is to equip leaders to do just that—make values-driven decisions, engage teams, and change organizational culture. When leaders consistently embody these practices, they achieve results both inside their organizations and transform capitalism’s impact on society.
History shows that when leaders merge metrics with meaning, and Virtue Drives Value, they deliver lasting benefits for shareholders, staff, and society.”

Capitalism is at a crossroads. Together, we can direct its course as if democracy depends on it—because it does. My work sits at the intersection of management and policy, rooted in my dual doctorate from the University of Michigan and 20+ years of experience. With your intention, my expertise, and our shared commitment, we can cultivate a kinder capitalism.
