The AFFINITY Formula

In a world driven by metrics and the relentless pursuit of growth, there’s a principle often overlooked—the essence of human connection. The AFFINITY formula is not just a theory but a realization of what truly drives success in any organization is the people. It’s about acknowledging that businesses don’t operate in isolation. They are living entities, shaped by the relationships between people.

What is the AFFINITY Formula?

The AFFINITY formula is a paradigm that positions mindful leadership at the core of success, creating a ripple effect that leads to engaged team members, satisfied customers, and, consequently, long-term sustainable business growth.

Here’s how it breaks down:

ACCEPTANCE: By recognizing and validating the customer’s concern.

FRIENDLINESS: Through empathetic and amicable interactions.

FAIRNESS: By ensuring a resolution that respects the interests of both parties.

INTEGRITY: By upholding the company’s values throughout the resolution process.

NURTURING: By turning conflict into an opportunity to strengthen the customer relationship.

INNOVATION: By exploring creative solutions to meet customer needs.

TIMELINESS: By working efficiently towards a quick resolution.

YESMANSHIP: By fostering a solution-focused mindset and making things possible within the company’s capabilities.

The Transformation into AFFINITY OS

Many of us are working from home for the first time and it’s amazing the distractions that occur throughout the day. Everything from those chores that nag at us through to kids needing help with their online studies. It can often feel like you’re trying to get a lot of things done and none of them seem to get completed as efficiently as you’d like. As we’ve personally watched our kids tackle online school, it’s been fascinating to witness the same thing happening with them.

26 Non-Negotiables, Opportunities & Tips for Surviving and Thriving During and After the COVID-19 Pandemic

by Grant Gamble | Communication, COVID-19, Mindful Leadership

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on business and the economy is unprecedented.

Businesses negatively affected by COVID-19 are faltering. Even the most robust companies will need to fight their way back to their pre-pandemic best, and marginal ones will likely not re-emerge from the crisis.

Companies positively affected by COVID-19 also need to chart new courses. That might mean establishing new supply chains, recruiting additional talent, or retooling their business to cope with massive spikes in sales and activity.

As businesses recalibrate, strategize, and pivot, one thing remains clear: these are unchartered waters for everyone.

There are some non-negotiables and common denominators across industries and sectors, but for the most part this is a unique set of circumstances that demand novel solutions and strategies.

I have detailed some non-negotiables, opportunities, and tips below:
