&ldquo;Janelle Barlow and Dianna Maul have written a tremendous book. Emotional Value will help speed up the day when businesses provide not only good service but truly engaging experiences, jobs become roles to be characterized and acted out, and workers are paid to self-actualize on the job. Any organization looking to improve the emotional connection between their employees and their customers needs to read this work.&rdquo; &mdash;JOE PINE & JIM GILMORE, authors of The Experience Economy: Work Is Theatre & Every Business a Stage  &ldquo;Emotional Value addresses the key customer service differentiation for twenty-first century corporations. In a well-organized and well thought out manner, it addresses the passion and emotional value required to impact the culture and focus of a corporation. About two years ago, Dell Computer Corporation launched a corporate-wide program focusing on the customer experience as a key differentiation in our industry. It was then and still remains Dell&rsquo;s only nonfinancial goal. Janelle was an instrumental part of our corporate roll out of this initiative. Many of the insights and sensitivities she shared with us are covered in great detail in her book. Emotional Value should be a must-read book.&rdquo; &mdash;MORTON L. TOPFER, Vice Chairman, Dell Computer Corporation  &ldquo;This book tackles, head on, the most fundamental yet elusive element of our business. Giving service and meaning it! This is a no nonsense read that provides practical direction punctuated with many humorous yet profound examples. A compelling read with humorous yet practical examples that one can easily relate to and learn from.&rdquo; &mdash;NIGEL ROBERTS, General Manager, The Great Eagle Hotel, Hong Kong  &ldquo;This is the book you&rsquo;ve been waiting for! Substantive guidance to understanding your customers and treating them well. Read it. Use it. Benefit from it.&rdquo; &mdash;NIDO QUBEIN, author of How To Be a Great Communicator  &ldquo;Emotional Value is an extraordinary achievement, destined to become a classic in the literature on customer service. Barlow and Maul have taken a brightly illuminating look into our experiences as customers and service providers and reflected back the true nature of our encounters. Emotional Value will forever change how you perceive, provide, and receive customer service. Solidly based in research, this book offers profound content, practical prescriptions, illustrative examples, and compelling stories that will remain with you long after you put it down. . . . I implore you to read this book and immediately put it to use. Your customers&rsquo; feelings about your organization are at stake, and so is the value they create for you.&rdquo; &mdash;JIM KOUZES, coauthor The Leadership Challenge, and Encouraging the Heart and Chairman Emeritus, tompeters!company  &ldquo;Just as the emotional health of a person dictates physical well being, the emotional health of an organization dictates its financial well being. Janelle Barlow and Dianna Maul have composed a primer on this impor- tant topic. The authors&rsquo; data and stories paint a compelling picture of why taking care of customer, staff and organizational emotions should be a priority for every CEO/President. It is a must-read for businesses that hope to be on the cutting edge.&rdquo; &mdash;CHRIS EHLERS, Organizational Dynamics/Effectiveness Manager Proctor & Gamble &ldquo;Emotional Value is an awesome guide to understanding human behav- ior as it relates to the business transaction process. Finally, a practical resource on how to enhance the customer experience . . . an absolute must-read for the staff of any organization interested in exponentially growing their business!&rdquo; &mdash;CHRIS STRIPPELHOFF, Vice President of Member Service, The Municipal Gas Authority of Georgia &ldquo;Emotional Value redefines customer service&mdash;it is the new level. Read this book because delivering emotional value will be the entrance fee for any organization entering the 21st Century.&rdquo; &mdash;LISA FORD, author of the How to Give Exceptional Customer Service Video Series  &ldquo;Presidents have to have it. Customers come back when they feel it. Making emotional connections means loyalty. If you want the practical road map for you and your people to take advantage of the experience economy, Emotional Value is a must-read. With this book you won&rsquo;t fall victim to change, you can help invent the future of the service industry.&rdquo; &mdash;TERRY PAULSON, PH.D., former President of the National Speakers Association and author of They Shoot Managers Don&rsquo;t They

A New Approach to Solving Our Most Complex Challenges

The Social Labs Revolution

&ldquo;For a fresh outlook on what it takes to be a great leader, read this book. The 8 Dimensions of Leadership is an insightful, practical guide&mdash;a leader could spend ten or twenty years learning some of the lessons you&rsquo;ll take away. Don&rsquo;t wait.&rdquo; &mdash;Keith Ferrazzi, bestselling author of Never Eat Alone   &ldquo;The 8 Dimensions of Leadership is a treasure trove of practical leadership advice. Built upon a solid research-based foundation, the book is a remarkable collection of proven developmental strategies. Clear and engaging, it is a must-read for those who aim to sharpen their leadership skills and improve their interpersonal effectiveness.&rdquo; &mdash;Steven Snyder, founder and Managing Director, Snyder Leadership Group, and former CEO, Net Perceptions Inc. &ldquo;It is always refreshing to read a research-based book on leadership that presents convincing evidence that the best leaders are not &lsquo;single celled&rsquo; or &lsquo;one-trick ponies.&rsquo; The book guides all leaders to discovering new behaviors that enable them to go beyond their autopilot approaches and the ultimate ruts that so many leaders dig for themselves.&rdquo; &mdash;Jack Zenger, CEO, Zenger Folkman, and coauthor of the bestselling The Extraordinary Leader and The Extraordinary Coach  &ldquo;The quest for leadership is first an inner quest to discover who you are, and one of the best places to begin that quest is with The 8 Dimensions of Leadership. Jeffrey Sugerman, Mark Scullard, and Emma Wilhelm challenge the widely accepted, but fundamentally flawed, assumption that you should lead only with your strengths. They argue most persuasively that you must stretch yourself beyond your primary dimension in order to meet the demands of today&rsquo;s multidimensional environment. This highly personalized book is based on solid evidence, crammed with real-life examples, and full of practical suggestions that you can use immediately. You will be, as I was, richly rewarded when you read it and apply it.&rdquo; &mdash;Jim Kouzes, Dean&rsquo;s Executive Professor of Leadership, Leavey School of Business, and coauthor of the bestselling The Leadership Challenge and The Truth about Leadership &ldquo;An enormously valuable book for anyone interested in greater effectiveness in the new era of leveraging relationships! So much of what many of us want to get done these days requires an understanding of what makes us more or less comfortable as we engage with our world and the key people in it, and this should be considered a prime resource. Don&rsquo;t let the simplicity and easily intuitive quality of its contents fool you. This is a power tool. As a more than twenty-year DiSC profile user and advocate, I was already familiar with and sympathetic to the basic model. But as I engaged with its simple but subtle concepts and suggestions, I was stunned by its ability to hit home for me in so many aspects of my own current leadership challenges and opportunities. It delivered instant validation and inspired direction for me. Bravo!&rdquo;  &mdash;David Allen, Chairman, David Allen Company, and author of Getting Things Done
