Love Incorporated: The Future of Business (Paperback or Softback)

Have you ever thought that there is just something completely wrong with how we run our companies? Like perhaps there is something right at the heart of how we build organisations, that just doesn't quite work? Human systems are strange things. Fluid, flexible, easily influenced. But while we imagine them as machines, creating nothing but money, we will continue to create soulless environments which undermine the foundations of what it is to be human. LOVE INCORPORATED is a very human exploration of what it means to create an organisation that is fit for a very different future: one in which people are treated as more than simply financial assets.

One reviewer called this book "self-indulgent and self-congratulatory." Maybe they're right, but this isn't a stripped-down list of "10 tips to get ahead." It's a raw and sometimes messy journey through the mountains of corporate life, exploring how love, empathy, and humanity can, and must, shape the future of business. If you want neat formulas, look elsewhere.

Martyn Clark is the CEO of Gadfly, a new corporation that will transform the core of how businesses operate. He is a leadership consultant, physicist and artist, who has advised the boards of some of the biggest companies in the world.
