الوصف

In this episode of Passion Struck, John R. Miles sits down with Marcus Buckingham, who is a global researcher, pioneer of the strengths movement, and bestselling author of First Break All the Rules, to explore one of the most provocative ideas in modern leadership: love as a fierce business force.Marcus reveals why extreme positive experiences, which people spontaneously describe using the word “love,” are the only true drivers of lasting customer loyalty, employee engagement, resilience, and performance. Drawing on extensive research, he introduces the five sequential feelings (control, harmony, significance, warmth, and growth) that leaders must intentionally design into every experience to help people flourish. In this episode, you'll learn:Why love is the most powerful predictor of productive human behavior in businessThe J-curve effect and why average experiences create zero behavioral changeThe five sequential feelings required to design love into customer and employee experiencesHow to become an “experience maker” who treats every interaction as a cohesive stage playWhy the founder’s flame matters and what happens when organizations drift into loveless machinesThe difference between fleeting moments and transformative experiences that shape long-term loyalty and growthPractical ways to design more loving experiences in meetings, customer interactions, and team leadershipThis conversation reframes leadership as the art of designing human experiences that allow people to shed their armor and become more fully themselves — turning love from a soft concept into a measurable, strategic force for human flourishing and business vitality.Passion Struck is the #1 Health and Wellness Podcast and personal growth podcast dedicated to helping people live intentionally, unlock human potential, and create lives filled with meaning, purpose, and mattering.Limited Time Offers:FODZYME: Get 30% off your first order when you go to: ICanEatAgain.com/PASSIONSTRUCKShopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at SHO
