and soul, and a true foundation of kindness and warm heartedness.
• Customers are more likely to give their business, their approval
and their good word to others.
• Employees are more likely to trust and respect their employers;
enjoy their work and perform at their best; treat customers and
each other well; and stick around longer.
• Suppliers are more likely to be supportive and motivated to
provide the highest possible level of service, and to give a little
extra help in extraordinary circumstances.
• Financial stakeholders are more likely to be trusting, patient and
supportive. Certainly this last group is, understandably, driven
mainly by objective facts and figures. So the business shouldn’t be
done in the wrong way.
