Lunch with Lucy: Maximize Profits by Investing in Your People Available Now!
-- Entrepreneur Sherry Stewart Deutschmann shares how she built a $40 million company by putting her employees first. --
March 10, 2020 - Nashville, TN...Entrepreneur Sherry Stewart Deutschmann celebrates the release of her debut book, Lunch with Lucy: Maximize Profits by Investing in Your People, via An Inc. Original, an imprint of Inc Magazine. With refreshing humor and humility, Lunch with Lucy is Sherry's story of founding her first venture, LetterLogic, in her basement, as a single mom with no experience, and turning it into a robust $40 million business through empathetic leadership and uncommon, commonsense business practices.
Deutschmann deliberately put the needs of her people above those of her shareholders and customers through initiatives such as fair living wages and an unheard-of equal profit-sharing plan. She created an employee-centric practice, "Lunch with Lucy," which allowed her to remove the hierarchical dynamics within the organization and revolutionize the company's work culture. Entrepreneurs will connect with this thought leader as she shows how she was successful -- not in spite of her unorthodox leadership, but because of it. Deutschmann's business model and book are transformational.
