People don't make decisions rationally -- they make them emotionally, then justify with logic. The best communicators, leaders, and salespeople know this and act accordingly.
"How you do anything is how you do everything." The way you set up a meeting, a room, or a conversation sends a signal before you say a single word.
The ROI of kindness is not abstract -- Neal's car dealer case study shows how small acts of generosity (a free oil change, a windshield repair) compounded into a thriving service base of nearly 100 customers and a workforce that wore the company shirt to dinner.
Short-termism is the enemy. Toyota planned 70 years ahead -- and their recall response left customers more satisfied than before the recall.
There's a "cynical middle" in most organizations -- the people between the idealistic CEO and the enthusiastic new hires. Neal's mission is to remind them: you don't have to be an a-hole to get ahead.
Human beings survived because of cooperation, not individual dominance. Teams that finish aren't always the fastest -- they're the most cohesive.
