Managing with Aloha: Bringing Hawaii's Universal Values to the Art of Business

'Values' may be the most frequently spoken word in business today. Yet Rosa Say, founder of Say Leadership Coaching and former Vice President of Hualalai at historic Kaupulehu, boldly proposes that Hawaii is optimally suited to lead the world in the pursuit of values-centered business, because we all live with something good and right by its very nature: Aloha and all it embraces.

Managing with Aloha explores nineteen different Hawaiian values, and in the tradition of Dr. George Kanahele this book demonstrates how managers can bring these universal values into every kind of business practice today. Say draws on many examples of how she put these values into profitable practice in her own successful career as a manager, and she eloquently shares her common-sense approaches to blending the social and economic goals of business enterprise in ways that define a Hawaiian sensibility for the way we work and live.

Veteran executive Rosa Say is founder and head coach of Say Leadership Coaching, a mentoring, coaching and training firm created as a resource for visionaries and innovators in business today. Rosa was born and raised in Hawaii, and she is a graduate of the School of Travel Industry Management at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Rosa is the author of the Talking Story blog, written to bring the art of Aloha to the managers and leaders of the online community. Rosa currently resides on the Big Island of Hawaii, devoting her personal coaching efforts toward mentoring the next generation of managers and leaders in Hawaii.
