An allegory that explores one CEO's work to be a force for good. AFTER HIS FATHER'S DEATH, Rob drops out of graduate school in Singapore and takes his place as the sixth CEO and chair of his New Zealand-based family business, the thriving multinational The South Wairarapa Water Company, commonly known as SoWai. He wants to do well, and he yearns to do good. Rob's dreams for what can and should be done are more grand than his fathers before him would have imagined possible. At the same time, he worries that he is not living up to the legacy that he inherited. He learns the hard way that dreams can be fierce competitors and enemies as much as they can be powerful allies. Rob puzzles through how to do more than run SoWai-he strives to protect the world's fresh water, which become a struggle for SoWai's survival as well as his own. A percentage of all profits from SoWai will be donated to charities working to protect the world's fresh water, as well as organizations working to support Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand.
