Before Joel Manby won the respect of America with his appearance on the CBS reality TV series Undercover Boss , he was a highly successful corporate executive. After the show aired, many of the 18 million viewers wrote to him about the profound impact of his servant leadership. How does a person achieve that level of success without arrogance or pride? In Love Works , Joel Manby introduces us to the power of Christlike love in the workplace. After years of leading thousands of men and women, Manby has proven that leading with love is effective, even in a business environment. Manby challenges leaders to allow integrity and faith to guide leadership decisions, outlining seven time-proven principles that break down the natural walls within corporate cultures, empowering managers and employees, disarming difficulties, and cultivating an atmosphere that builds long-term success. Manby also leverages the undeniable truth that love builds healthy relationships at home—why not use the same behavior to build healthy relationships at work? “In a world where so many think they know what great leadership is all about, Joel has the courage and confidence to speak of leadership in the language of love. Love as a verb. Love as a strategy. Love as a leadership principle---not just at home or at church, but in the rough and tumble, results-oriented, hard charging workplace. Joel’s insights and first-hand stories will give you a personal and refreshing look at becoming the kind of leader that people will want to follow.” -- Bonnie Wurzbacher “So often we feel we have to choose between two desirable but apparently opposing objectives when leading organizations. Joel shows us how to be both loving and accountable; to be profitable and caring; to be effective and be giving. He has written Love Works as a businessman. But if government and some non-profits would apply just a fraction of his message in their leadership too, they would be both more effective and happier places.” -- Bill Haslem “I believe this book is the most unique and best sourced business and management book on the shelf today. I’ve known Jack and Pete Herschend most of my life. They live a life of love and they lead with love. Joel Manby has humbly embraced the timeless principle of leading with love and expanded HFE nationally with the same value-based leadership style. He has penned an excellent resource for leading with love in the workplace! It will forever change, impact and improve your company’s productivity in immeasurable ways.” -- Joe White “If this book doesn’t help and inspire you to be a great leader, I don’t know what could. Love Works and so does Joel Manby. He is everything this book represents and more. I feel privileged to know him and blessed to be able to work alongside him.' -- Dolly Parton “Joel and HFE have an outstanding reputation in our industry. Yet what surprised me and delighted me as I read: this is NOT just another book about management. It is about life and love and leadership and how to build prosperity and happiness in your organization…and yourself. I highly recommend it.” -- Al Weiss, Retired President, Walt Disney World Theme Parks and Resorts “It's one thing to know that 'love is an action', but far more challenging to make that 'action' a way of life - at work and at home. Reading Love Works will transform your life. Drawing on his own experiences, with humility and humor, Joel Manby provides all the tools you'll need to care for others without compromising your desire for excellence. I've known Joel well for over 25 years and have never met a leader more qualified to write on this topic.” -- Kevin J. Jenkins, President and Chief Executive Officer, World Vision International “It has been said that real success is about becoming the total person God wants you to be and accomplishing the goals that He helps you set for your life. As leaders, we have a unique opportunity to help others find success by treating them with honor, dignity and respect and inspiring them to reach higher, dream bigger, strive harder and go farther than they could ever go on their own. In Love Works. Joel Manby outlines a proven model for creating and sustaining a successful life and a successful organization by leading… with love.” -- Dan T. Cathy, President and COO, Chick-fil-A, Inc. 'I have read a lot of leadership and management books in my 35 years as a CEO and in politics. I have never read one as unique, inspiring but yet practical as Love Works. People in Washington, politics and government could learn soooo much from this book. Joel is a business executive, but what he teaches us here applies to any organization, leadership or associative endeavor. I dare say that much of the problem in Washington right now is that we are very far away from the principles outlined in this excellent work.” -- John Campbell, Member of Congress 48th District, California “Love Works. Seven Timeless Principles for Effective Leaders is an amazing boo
