When the dot-com bubble burst, hotelier Chip Conley went in search of a business model based on happiness. In an old friendship with an employee and in the wisdom of a Buddhist king, he learned that success comes from what you count. Chip Conley creates joyful hotels, where he hopes his employees, customers and investors alike can realize their full potential. His books share that philosophy with the wider world.
Talk by Chip Conley.
brilliant, amazing, inspirational, and gives humanity hope that it needs.
In my opinion, this is a great video. Counting what really matters can open the eyes to everyone, not just business leaders and politicians
I loved this.
Brilliant video, such a great delivery. Completely spellbound..!
geez, that was a huge wake up call in what our country actually values. I agree with Chip 100%. We live for happiness which connects to success and health. This is not a independent emotion and it needs to be shared by many people as possible.
Our gratitude is lacking in what truly matters.
i really love TED videos. thx a lot!!
Thank you ted!
I don't get why you assume you know anything about this man by watching a 17 min video, I find him to be very experienced and a humble man, I admire that in him.
I suggest you watch the video again you might see things differently.
Brilliant!!!
davey Cameron 🙈 wonder if he would still mention him if he gave this talk again today
It might not necessarily make you a suitable leader, but from the speech he gave I think he probably would be a good leader, and it seems his role in business helped make him one!
you know he was born on third base? my grandfather started selling machinery at a very young age and started his business at 25, no body gave him anything, he spent the time most people wasted in collage earning money so that he could afford to do that. when you have clear goals you can do stuff like that.
I think being happy makes the life worth living. And love is quite a good way to be happy ! :)
I find terrible that dumb things get millions of views while this barely passes the thousand. Everybody should see this channel.
Adding to shadowolf960:
Not only does this guy financially OWN the company, he very likely manages his team's/organization's growth and infrastructure by taking charge, making decisions, and recruiting aid to get things done - in addition to what shadowolf960 mentioned, THESE things make someone a leader.
Conley didn't imply/say "I'm a leader BECAUSE I am a CEO" - he simply alluded to the fact that MOST company owners ARE leaders by their job description.
I'd say passion!
I don't think he is a good leader for having run a successful company, but through the philosophy he's decided to take on board. which is one that I think a good leader should have. I agree that financial success does not mean good leadership skills, but someone who succeeds in business could still be a good leader because of his approach.
Excellent!
There are 20 countries that they speak Spanish, so would you please add subtitles in Spanish, so more people could benefit from those videos! Thanks!
You can automatically have the english subtitles translated into spanish - it works great 👍
I think what creates classless societies are two main factors: availability of abundant resources (so methods of resource distribution like money or government wouldn't be needed) AND education from that society about resources being abundant so there is no need to fight over them nor government to distribute them. Actually, nowadays we have the technology to give abundance to all the world, but we still retain old values of scarcity and war. I'd recommend you to watch "Paraside or Oblivion" :)
That's a crazy idea

"Why not both?"
*Celebration!*
why is everyone hating this guy? Because he suggested that happiness for customers and employees is important for businesses to sucseed?
I'm happy with my face - beat that!
One question I see arising here is what leadership is needed and how has it evolved in our U.S. I think Rider pointed out that the need for leadership is in a way disfunctional (not in so many words). If we all were intelligent, honest and loving we would not need leaders. I'm sorry to say we are not all of those things. Also the fear that we all have drives us to promote "leaders" who do not truly lead. Mr. Conley points put some of the failings of leaders in our society. What's the solution?
happiness is novel experience
Good thing is: he is not an idiot like most.
He is dedicating his life for a better world. What is wrong with that? it doesn't matter on which base he was born.
You're right, of course to be a leader you don't have to necessarily depend on money! But by that logic, no President could be called a good leader either, since they need funding to run campaigns and gain popularity! I see your point, but I think the sense of leadership here is that he is breaking away from what is expected, viewing the world not by the physical, but by the mental state of being, which I think is impressive in any CEO, given the philosophy of the West today. :)
A "Gross National Happiness" cannot be measured. Standard of living, longevity of life and capital depth can.
Ah, the pursuit of happiness, thats always the fork in the road. How much does it need to be happy? For some its unimaginable wealth. For others its humble dwellings with neighborly love. Ultra consumerism vs moderate consumption. Today's business models will most likely morph just as evolution does, just as the pursuit of happiness does. Its formidable discussions that mutually reassure the worlds needs, not just that of business.
I guess that's our difference. I can imagine humans evolving to not needing leaders but I guarantee you will never perceive what you cannot conceive. Best of luck to you!
Hi Rider, sorry for the late response, I think your view, while very hopeful, rings untrue with how humans work and have always worked. I think to be a leader is to be unique and extraordinary, and to be more than what is expected of the average human being. I don't know, maybe all humans can be leaders and therefore maybe in an ideal world we wouldn't need any! I just don't think what you're saying can really ring true for the world we live in. Best of luck to you :)
I don't see why he still shouldn't lecture others. If he was born in to a wealthier family than most good for him, I wish I was sometimes and I plan to make sure my kids are born into a house that can provide for them too. He didn't squander his time or intelligence on more trivial goals. He created wealth and service for others successfully. But even did have a head start, he still is a successful business man who can give important insight into the world of work he does.
Probability is infinity has a long time, so chances are every moment will have a chance to be a have and a have not. The haves of today will be the have nots of tomorrow. The have nots of tomorrow will be the haves of yesterday etc etc..
I don't equate financial success with leadership. He has paid employees, not followers. I hope to live to see the day that humanity outlives it's need for leaders and begins to think for themselves.
one is a leader even if he manages the work of just two people
Apply cold water to the burned area.
Happiness is a warm gun.
Huh? Can you explain your reply in more detail?
"mazlo" that pronunciation of Maslow.
Is that ownership just through the course of one lifetime? Creation always has two parts, does it not? In order to create, something else must change, does it not? Is Steve Jobs reaping the rewards of his creation?
Actually, mrhadaray, there are many hunter-gatherer societies were there aren't any social hierarchies nor formal leaders. Check out the Piraha people, for instance.
Very nice talk, human capital is the most valuable asset we posses as a nation. Vivian is someone's mother...this internet tool makes us callous and ill mannered. I rather liked the comment "Apply cold water to the burned area." We have lots of burned areas from the tone of the comments.

Hmm, true. Businesses never really succeed if customers and employees are not happy, but they can exist just the same. The subcontractors of most technological retail products can very rarely afford the products they produce. Thats the nature of business, thats where business struggles to find balance of happiness. Often leaders and owners are plagued with the guilt of the system of business and their happiness suffers for it.
The most perfidious way of harming a cause consists of defending it deliberately with faulty arguments. #Nietzsche
Actually
While I see were you are coming from, I have to disagree . Owning a company puts you in a position were people look at to set the example and to give the image of stability. In many ways stocks and well being of companies are dependent on the image given by the person in charge , and they have to operate,many times , in spite of negative critism or opposition to get a job done , I believe that is what a leader is . Someone who does things out of self motivation . I am open to discussion
God I love sarcasm ( really I do).
Hmmm
...maybe because he employees people so can tell them what to do... he "leads" their actions.
Cm
He had to lead others to build that business. You think he could have built it on his own?
I was with you till you said David Cameron wanted it :P
He bought a small motel, he might have not necessarily been born rich.
I think we just disagree on the definition of leader. To me a good leader doesn't have to pay his followers :) Being kind to your employees isn't much of a leadership philosophy, in my opinion. I hope to live to see the day that the sheeple outgrow the need for leaders and begin to think for themselves.
How do you know he didn't work for it? He might have worked just as hard as somebody that was born on "1st" base to get it. And how do you even know if he was born in "3rd base" People can accomplish a lot in 26 years.
business loans
not true, my stepfather owned his own business at 16 worth $400,000 by the time he was 21, and bought his own 2 story house at 17......he grew up on foodstamps and went to a public school infested with drugs in the inner-city....its called motivation.
no, I think they hate because he's rich.
Ah, is there a difference between leading and owning? Is that an illusion or a delusion? The moment is borrowed and thats it.
To be fair it sounded like a crappy motel
HaraldHarUtube Wonderfilled!
America is truly a sad case, because they are a new country that was founded on a government of the people by the people for the people. But then somehow they decided to give that up and started seeing those who should be serving them as their leaders. They put the most corrupt on pedestals. It's as though the worse they are treated the more they obey. Humans don't have to work this way but I fear it's going to get a lot worse before they wake up and things start getting better.
This guy... I mean...
Service industry?
Maybe you should do some research before assuming that he was born with a silver spoon.
But worry not, I did it for you: he worked his way there!

OMG could you actually say actually one more time please...try counting them!
Strength of our marriages? Devotion to our country?
How about no.
Ah, that must be why most CEO's fit the profile of a psychopath ;)
You need to grow up, learn to walk, learn to run, learn to fall, learn to get back up again, learn to throw, learn to dodge, then after a lot of work you might or might not make it to home plate.
It's easy feel good at your mediocrity, by lessening the success of others, isn't it?.
He created happiness index and ethnic cleansing. Nice. 😤😤😤
It's easy to make assumptions and judge someone when you are ignorant of who they are as a person and what has happened in their life as well. You don't really know anything about this man other that what you watched in this talk.
Actually, I'll bet that the only reason that the people in his company are there is because he pays them. That doesn't make him a leader in my opinion.
Huh, Jesus or Hitler
Did they own the moments or lead the moments? Or did they merely borrow them? Karma is strange that way..
"love" is the most unoriginal answer
Actually, I prefer to think of presidents and other politicians as public servants not leaders. Or at least they should be. I have never understood the sheeple's need for a leader. If anything humanity's leader right now is mamon.
Yup, and then when you do get there you have all this guilt messing up your joy-de-money so you start with the charity and the inspirational videos, but make sure they all know you're a leader! *sigh*
Of course it should be the norm, but I think what you are expecting to much from people, especially in a society like America. People become corrupted, and throughout history people have abused those below them. I appreciate what you are saying, but I think that you have to take stupidity and ill treatment of others as a sad part of being human ... and I see you believe we don't need in leaders, but again, I just don't think that's how humans work sadly.
That's just silly. By that reasoning you should not offer your opinion on anything because your ancestors bothered to invent agriculture, medicine, engineering etc and you are just using that knowledge and not starting from scratch. I think maybe you're just a little bit jealous of him.
How do you know this? Maybe he does have rich parents and they gave him money to invest and he repaid them? Maybe he simply made his own money, having worked hard for 10 years to build up capital. Just because YOU didn't have the money to buy a hotel at 26, this guy MUST be a leech? Grow up.
Who cares? You clearly are missing the point of this video anyhow.
Capitalism is more filled with Communist products than ever, was that by communist design or capitalist design?
This guy seems condescending and douchy all around.
I think of a president or any politician as a public servant, not a leader. What is with this need for leaders? Shouldn't our government be working for us? That is the whole idea of democracy. Again, I don't see the concept of keeping your employees happy as a great new idea. Why should we expect anything else? The employees are the ones doing the work which earns the CEO his money, of course they should be appreciated. I don't see this as innovative in any way. It should be the norm.
This guy is slimy.
