In WHEN BUSINESS IS LOVE: The Spirit of Hästens—At Work, At Play, and Everywhere in Your Life, Jan shares his leadership philosophy and explains how any business, in any field, can operate on the basis of love. The book examines more than twenty facets of Jan’s methodology, from establishing a culture that values people, imagination, craftsmanship, and mastery, to living such vital traits as honesty, openness, forgiveness, integrity, humility, and encouragement.
