Lead with purpose. Win with integrity. Build something that lasts-and that matters.

The Stewardship Advantage is a purpose-driven strategy for small business owners who want more-more meaning, more loyalty, more growth, and more enduring value.

This isn't a feel-good, theoretical philosophy book. It's a practical, market-smart model for running a business that thrives because it puts stakeholders first. When your employees, customers, suppliers, and community do better, you do better too.

Note that while the word ""stewardship"" can carry religious and/or philosophical associations, this book is not faith-based. It's grounded in real-world business leadership-practical, inclusive, and built specifically for small business owners around the world ready to make a difference.

Across industries, customer expectations are clearly shifting. People are seeking values-driven alternatives to big, impersonal corporations. They want transparency, trust, and businesses they can believe in. This creates a powerful tailwind for small business owners willing to lead with principle and purpose.

Drawing on real-world insights and Stewardship Spotlights from around the globe, author David Grau Sr. shows how stewardship drives performance, strengthens teams, deepens trust, and creates legacy-level value. Whether you're building, scaling, or preparing for succession, this book offers a strategy and the plans to do well-and do good.

Because stewardship isn't just the right way to run a business-it's the advantage that sets you apart.

David Grau Sr. is a full-time author and passionate advocate for small business stewardship. In a career spanning over three decades, David has advised thousands of small business owners on issues of succession planning and enterprise value. But more recently his focus has shifted - not away from business, but much deeper into its purpose. His current writing centers on a simple but powerful belief: that small business owners have the capacity, and arguably the responsibility, to leave the world in a better place than they found it.In his latest book, The Stewardship Advantage: Building a Profitable and Principled Small Business - with the Power to Change the World, David Sr. offers practical and professional guidance on how to be a good small business steward-not just of profits and shareholders - but of all stakeholders including one's community, customers, employees, suppliers, partners, officers, and the environment. He writes to a global audience of owners, leaders, and changemakers ready to do business differently...and better, for generations to come!
