Ο Τσιπ Κόνλι: Μετρώντας αυτό που δίνει αξία στη ζωή μας.
About this talk
Όταν έσκασε η φούσκα του "επιχειρείν μέσω διαδικτύου", ο ξενοδόχος Τσιπ Κόνλι άρχισε να ψάχνει ένα μοντέλο επιχείρησης με βάση την ευτυχία. Μέσα από μια παλιά φιλία με μια υπάλληλό του και μέσα από τη σοφία ενός Βουδιστή βασιλιά, έμαθε πως η ευτυχία προέρχεται από το τι μετράει για τον καθένα μας.
About Chip Conley
Chip Conley creates joyful hotels, where he hopes his employees, customers and investors alike can realize their full potential. His books share that philosophy with the wider world.
Why you should listen to him:
In 1987, at the age of 26 and seeking a little "joy of life," Chip Conley founded Joie de Vivre Hospitality by transforming a small motel in San Francisco’s seedy Tenderloin district into the now-legendary Phoenix. Today, Joie de Vivre operates nearly 40 unique hotels across California, each built on an innovative design formula that inspires guests to experience an "identity refreshment" during their visits.
During the dotcom bust in 2001, Conley found himself in the self-help section of the bookstore, where he became reacquainted with one of the most famous theories of human behavior -- Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, which separates human desires into five ascending levels, from base needs such as eating to the highest goal of self-actualization, characterized by the full realization and achievement of one’s potential. Influenced by Maslow's pyramid, Conleyrevamped his business model to focus on the intangible, higher needs of his company's three main constituencies -- employees, customers and investors. He credits this shift for helping Joie de Vivre triple its annual revenues between 2001 and 2008.
Conley has written three books, including his most recent, PEAK: How Great Companies Get Their Mojo from Maslow, and is at work on two new ones, Emotional Equations and PEAK Leadership. He consults widely on transformative enterprises, corporate social responsibility and creative business development. He traveled to Bhutan last year to study its Gross National Happiness index, the country's unique method of measuring success and its citizens' quality of life.
"Chip Conley is that rare breed of CEO who possesses both a brilliant business mind and a very big heart. He’s a true role model for anyone who wants to lead."Gavin Newsom, Mayor of San Francisco
