Note sull'episodio
One coffee shop kept Bruno waiting 20 minutes, brought a cold cappuccino, and didn't apologize. The next day, he went to the competitor. They brought it in one minute, hot, with a smile and left a free plate of biscuits he didn't order. He never went back to the first place. That's the whole lesson of this episode in one story.
Dr. Bruno Roque Cignacco has spent 30 years researching, consulting, and writing about what he calls compassionate business a framework that proves treating employees, customers, and stakeholders well isn't charity. It's a strategy. It drives retention, innovation, brand reputation, and profit.
In this episode, he breaks down why fear destroys performance, why well-paid employees still quit, and why the most important asset in any business isn't technology or capital. It's the human being.
