Lunch with Lucy is a successful entrepreneur's business book about how and why companies will be more profitable if they take better care of their employees and how an employee-first culture drives top-line growth and bottom-line success. Entrepreneur author CEO Sherry Deutschmann exemplifies how she put her employees first by means of a program she set up called ""Lunch with Lucy."" She used the name ""Lucy"" -a fake name for herself-to make employees feel less intimated about inviting the CEO out to lunch. Any employee, at any level, could invite her out on any Wednesday (with the bill paid by the company) so they could openly share any concerns or topics were relevant to their personal lives or to her company, LetterLogic. She credits this approach and her employees' honesty with the success of her business. Chapters are laid out like courses on a restaurant menu, and the author uses this construct to show how she used empathy and open leadership to transform her employees' lives and her company, one lunch at a time. This book shows she wasn't successful in SPITE of her unorthodox leadership, but because of it.
