You might not usually think of LOVE as an essential ingredient in successful business or leadership, but it plays a bigger role than you think. Love, the verb, has to do with your disposition towards other people and how you treat them. Building a business culture and your leadership based on love has the potential for phenomenal results.
Drawing on his 25+ years of experience as CEO of major corporations, Joel Manby wrote LoveWorks detailing how to integrate “love the verb” into the leadership ethos and philosophy of any organization. This servant leadership approach has been systematically proven to transform organizations through lower turnover, higher employee engagement, more satisfied customers, and stronger profits.
