Review of When Business Is Love
Have you ever come across virtues and principles that guide successful people, companies, and organizations in the world? In When Business is Love, Jan Ryde delves into this inquiry to provide a step-by-step guideline on how business can be love, and vice versa. Drawing from Pehr Adolf's humble beginning, Jan explores the origin, history, and prospects of Hastens Company. Here, lie the achievements and failures of five generations, which translates into valuable lessons for all entrepreneurs. Even with changing trends, Hastens remains a giant in the global market. What makes Hastens a cut above the rest? To find out, grab a copy of this book and follow Jan as he dissects the concept of love in the realm of business.
Pehr Adolf's original vision and intent continue to shape Hastens' policies, decisions, and quality of products. You will gain knowledge on how to handle competition, limiting beliefs, traditions, and negativity. Jan thoroughly discusses how virtues, such as integrity, humility, and trustworthiness play significant roles in fostering enduring business relationships. I love Hastens' forward-thinking approach to the future, which encourages genuineness and the cultivation of positive organizational cultures. Of particular interest is their approach to employee-employer relations, which involves hiring and retention strategies that set a benchmark for other employers. I will let you find out how their interview process goes!
Jan's writing prowess is truly impressive. He adeptly explores the concepts of selling, mastery, and value addition through Myra Brooks' poem. Additionally, he expounds on popular cliches to enhance our understanding of complex matters in the business world and real life. Jan also acknowledges other companies and individuals such as Apple and Gregory Downey, highlighting their contributions to Hastens' growth. Furthermore, Jan prompts readers to delve deeper into various themes in the book by posing questions that stimulate reflection and curiosity. The book provides a wealth of information on human psychology, drawing inspiration from renowned psychologists like Clare Graves.
I did not like the book's extensive length, which is likely to cause boredom. I suggest that readers should approach this book in smaller sections to maximize its benefits. However, this is not a strong reason to deny it a perfect rating.
The editing team did well; I encountered zero errors. I hereby rate this book five out of five stars because it is insightful and educational. I recommend to entrepreneurs and lovers of self-improvement books.
