Job one for any leader is to take great care of the people in the company. In this comprehensive book devoted to a company’s most precious asset, Paul Sarvadi offers piercing insights derived from years of dedication to the topic. And, he does it in an engaging and readable style.

Paul Sarvadi created a new business from scratch, and took it public within a decade on the merits of consistent double-digit growth. So when he writes a book on the lessons he learned about success on that journey, I want those lessons in my head, don’t you? But before opening your copy of Take Care of Your People: An Enlightened CEO’s Guide to Success, be sure a highlighter is handy. You’ll need it.

Take Care of Your People is a must-read. In an age of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Paul Sarvadi reminds organizations of the importance of human capital management. People are the most critical asset to any business, and Paul shares his vast knowledge of how to build an organization based on this most fundamental truth.

Paul is living proof that you can be wildly successful in business while leading by inspiration, not intimidation. It’s refreshing to see the magic tools to success start with the simple act of taking care of your people.

Paul has captured the subtle yet complex interplay between strategy and systematic execution in a practical and impactful way. His incredible vision, deep understanding of organizations and people and lessons learned from experience have given us a great playbook for developing impeccable organizational hygiene. I deeply respect the grit and determination that has led the Insperity senior team to build not only a world class company but also pioneer an entire industry. BoyarMiller is a much better organization because of our relationship with Insperity and I am blessed to call Paul a friend. We will be even better as we apply the lessons and guidance so humbly shared in Take Care of Your People.

Do you know what your ‘people policy’ is? Paul Sarvadi’s book is a valuable read on what matters most in an organization viz. the strength of its human capital. Offering words of wisdom infused with a common sense approach that comes from leading a company that has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to be a ‘top 100 workplace’, the book offers valuable suggestions on growing a sustainable organizational culture, goal setting, building trust and an actionable approach to the idea of servant leadership.

When you walk into the lobby of Ingram Entertainment Inc. (the nation’s largest distributor of DVDs and video games), there is a portrait and quote from founder E. Bronson Ingram (1931—1995) that reads: “I believe in taking good care of associates because associates who are taken good care of will, in turn, take good care of the company.” Paul Sarvadi’s book provides a number of good ideas regarding “taking care of the people”. Doing this correctly is the true secret sauce for business success.

Wow! What a read!! This book will be a cornerstone for business leaders for years to come. It was so engaging I could not put it down and finished it in one sitting. From the establishment of the culture to the bonus strategy of faith at work, Paul communicates so clearly how we can put actions into place on a daily basis. This book can transform your Leadership style and company!
