Peak After fifteen years of rising to the pinnacle of the hospitality industry, Chip Conley's company was suddenly undercapitalized. For relief and inspiration, Conley turned to psychologist Abraham Maslow's iconic Hierarchy of Needs. This book explores how Conley's company overcame the storm that hit the travel industry by applying Maslow's theory to what Conley identifies as the key Relationship Truths in business with Employees, Customers and Investors. Part memoir, part theory, and part application, the book tells of Joie de Vivre's remarkable transformation while providing real world examples from other companies and showing how readers can bring about similar changes in their work and personal lives. |
