Abstract: Abstract This is a longitudinal case study about an entrepreneur in Massachusetts who exemplifies the practices and policies of a good company. Dave Ferrairo illustrates the transformative role played by organizational leaders who are committed to combining a focus on people, planet, and profit in such a way as to incorporate the principles of corporate social responsibility and Christian social teaching in their daily operations. Ferrairo’s actions are compared with the songs of Bruce Springsteen, who develops in a similar three-stage process (rational, emotional, and spiritual) to move beyond the traditional “American Dream” to a focus on something other than oneself, other people, and nature. The focus becomes one of universality and appreciation of the common good.
