The article contends that resilience in business is often misinterpreted as mere survival, focusing on longevity and competition. Instead, it emphasizes that impactful businesses prioritize kindness, which fosters trust and social capital. Immigrant entrepreneurs, who frequently overcome significant challenges without resources, exemplify this by treating employees, customers, and stakeholders as partners. They understand that genuine relationships drive success, as illustrated by Reem Hassani of Numi Tea, who values long-term impacts over short-term profits by insisting on ethical sourcing despite higher costs.
...my research disagrees. Immigrant entrepreneurs are statistically substantially more successful than their native-born peers despite often arriving in new countries without financial capital, connections, or credibility.
At a time when trust in institutions is fading and talent has more mobility than ever, this often-overlooked trait might just be the biggest competitive edge in business today.
