Impact with Love:
Building Business for a Better World
By Greg Harmeyer
About the Book
High performance in work is a worthy goal. Yet truly high-performing businesses not only create substantial value; they also positively impact people’s lives and, in the process, build a better world. After 20 years of leading an award-winning, healthy, and high-growth company, Greg shares insights, experiences, and frameworks that help leaders create organizations that make a difference in the lives of the people we serve.
This book was written for leaders who want to use their position of influence to build healthier, high-performing, and people-centered organizations. It is part philosophy, exploring how for-profit businesses can be intentionally designed to be healthy and impactful, and part practice, sharing frameworks and models that help leaders break from conventional models and think differently about how organizations operate. All of it is focused on people and how, when we lead with love, we can create environments that make a difference.
As Greg writes, “People want to work on the side of good. They want to be engaged and to be challenged and to grow. They want to be part of something that has a purpose and a soul and meaning. They want to be supported. They want to be trusted. And they want to love and be loved. In the process of creating such an environment, we will affect people’s lives. And in doing so, we will build a better world.”
