My new friend Rosa Say is a talented coach, speaker and author based in Hawai'i and she shared some of her thoughts on Aloha Spirit and leadership in a phone call recently. I found a few of her quotes compelling enough to want to share them here.
"Everyone has the Aloha Spirit, it's leadership's responsibility to demonstrate that 'Aloha' is valued in the workplace."
"Time and money are not your greatest resources. Energy is your greatest resource and that only comes from engaged people."
The word "aloha" is a "catch-all" word in Hawaiian, like "Ciao" in Italian or "Hey" in American English. "Aloha" means literally "Hello, Good-bye, love" so its use and value is universal when you're seeking to build and maintain professional and personal relationships.
