Summary of Joel Manby's Love Works - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was the new leader of an Internet startup called GreenLight. com. I had consumed enough wine to dull the sharp edge of the emotional pain and stress that were cutting into me. I didn't know where to turn, and for every raindrop that spattered against my window, I had a question running through my mind. #2 I was determined to make the right choice, and the right choice was not the path that led to year after year of missed birthdays and kids who were slowly becoming strangers.
I decided to take the CEO position at GreenLight. com, a car tab at Amazon. com that let people buy a car with a few mouse clicks. #3 The board of directors at HFE wanted to appoint me chairman, and I was shocked and honored by the offer. I was also worried about my family situation, but I knew that the company's culture and values were a good fit for me. #4 I had been in business long enough to know that leading with love was a nearly impossible dream.
I had always wanted to care about the people I worked with and for, but that was a difficult goal to achieve in a company that only cared about financial performance.
