Love as a Business Strategy
Mohammad F. Anwar, Frank E. Danna, Jeffrey F. Ma and Christopher J. Pitre
To increase revenue, improve customer experience, and develop higher-performing teams, it’s time for leaders to stop looking for quick fixes to complex business problems and start building a culture of love.
Yes, love.
Anchored by Softway’s own transformational journey, Love as a Business Strategy offers a new, people-first framework for achieving any business outcome—written by folks that aren’t fans of run-of-the-mill business books.
As a matter of fact, Love as a Business Strategy is so chock-full of real-world examples of mistakes, heartbreak, and redemption that it reads more like a juicy exposé than a business book.
Love as a Business Strategy steers clear from piety and theoretical concepts and instead shares grounded stories of resilient people running a real business. A business, as you’ll come to find out, that was on the brink of disaster before ‘love’ took hold. Love As A Business Strategy doesn’t preach or mislead, rather it lays out the blueprints for better business outcomes—like better employee engagement, enhanced patient experiences, and increased efficiency—then walks you through it step-by-step.
A better way of doing business is possible. The workplace revolution has arrived. Love as a Business Strategy will help you ditch the status quo, embrace humanity, and achieve lasting success.
