This week the world is mourning the loss of Dolly Parton. As we all review her accomplishments, it's not (just) her music that is in focus: it is her $650M + business and how she ran it, with "kindness and firmness." She guarded her publishing rights and was intentional in how she approached her life and dealings, and at the same time gave generously to people in need and founded a literacy charity. She lifted up other women and showed that you don't need a business suit -- you can let your unique self shine and be very successful.

As a PRME champion school, and as we build up to our Women in Business event in October, it seems like we couldn't point to a better role model for responsible business than Dolly Parton.
