Loyalty Rules!
Frederick F. Reichheld

Fewer than half of today's employees believe that their companies deserve their loyalty. Web-empowered customers now defect more easily and more quickly than ever. Has loyalty become an outdated notion in today's marketplace?
Frederick Reichheld argues that loyalty is still the fuel that drives financial success - even, and perhaps especially, in today's volatile, high-speed economy - but that most organizations are running on empty. Why? Because leaders too often confuse profits with purpose, taking the low road to short-term gains at the expense of employees, customers, and ultimately, investors. Based on extensive research into companies from online start-ups to established institutions, including Harley-Davidson, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Cisco Systems, Dell Computer, Intuit, and more, Reichheld reveals six bedrock principles of loyalty upon which leaders build enduring enterprises. Underscoring that success requires both understanding and measuring loyalty, he couples each principle with straightforward actions that drive measurement systems, compensation, organization, and strategy:
Loyalty Rules! is a practical guidebook for taking the high road in business - the only road that leads to lasting success.
