In the book
Any business that doesn't create value for the people it touches, however shiny it looks on the surface, is on its way out. Treat the business as a chain of satisfaction: get down to the individual person in front of you, with real desires, because those units are all that make a size. Watch for your customers' moments of dissatisfaction and step in to help — offering help in a hard moment is its own reward, and it happens to be good business too. — Leadership & Business (Leadership/Business)
