ABOUT
I’m Utibe: a practitioner, writer, speaker, leader and advisor
I am on a mission to enable, equip and empower generations of love-led business leaders to stand boldly in their conviction to base business leadership on loving people.
I am solving for a world where leaders of organizations are primarily driven by LOVE for the people that their organizations impact.
Where have these perspectives come from?
Observations | This work, Love as a KPI, has been derived from what I witnessed personally. I’ve tracked the domino effect that begins when a manager berates an individual employee before a team, and then watched it crash down on a wide range of people beyond that team.
Research | I’ve also reviewed innumerable research reports on what drives customer, employee and even community loyalty and advocacy and gleaned clear patterns.
Intrinsic Perspective | I draw on my own personal wiring: my propensity to bridge head and heart is evident in not just what I have done but how I have operated over two decades. I am motivated to drive business results and believe excellence is the only option AND I know those don’t have to come at the cost of the thriving of people.
Studies | I am also a lifelong student of humanity, infinitely curious about what shapes thinking, behavior and the true impact of decisions we make.
Experience in the Wild | And of course, I have been a recipient of business impact as a consumer, community member and a colleague. These perspectives have been the most informative in understanding the role Love (or lack of it) plays in business outcomes.
Three Things I believe
NO. 1
Business Plays a Significant Role…
in the way people are ‘left’ each day. Beyond products, services, or employment, businesses are the most powerful conduit for fostering humanity—or diminishing it
NO. 2
Sustainable Business Success…
much like sustainable personal success, is an inside job
NO. 3
The Real Bottom Line...
is how we are leaving people as a result of their interaction with our organization
WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT LOVE AS A KPI?
