Chris is a seasoned sales and business veteran with a Masters in Finance and Economics from Northwestern University. His forty-year career began on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, where he started his first business in partnership with his brother Curtis. With the introduction of electronic trading, he transitioned to Wall Street to participate in this disruptive new technology. As a Senior Sales Executive with some of the world’s most prominent financial institutions, he learned the business practices that can propel or crush a company’s potential for success. He was able to apply those lessons as a Founder and Board Member of a small business which developed into a publicly listed company on NASDAQ.

During his vast experience at the heart of the financial world, Chris weathered and witnessed the personal and societal impacts caused by the increasing speed, complexity and volatility of the industry. He observed and recognized how the extraordinary wealthy rarely shared the credit or the wealth with the employees, vendors and community that made organizational success a reality. The power of a reshaped version of Capitalism and potential of the community of socially conscious leaders inspired Chris’s mission to help redefine the hierarchical, shareholder-first corporate model and foster companies that prioritize purpose as importantly as profits.

Driven by an unshakable desire to partner with the leaders of small and medium businesses, Chris founded GET LOOPED, LLC as a platform to showcase the value and benefits of a collective prosperity for people, businesses and communities. Today, he helps businesses and CEOs incorporate prosperity in collaboration with profitability into their business practices.

To succeed in today's business world, we must prioritize objectives as much as profitability. Learn how to better collaborate with employees to create a balanced approach for building prosperity.

The collective experience of the COVID-19 pandemic has created a "Great Rethink" of our personal and professional priorities. The old top-down management, share-holder first model is no longer serving our businesses, our employees, or our communities. It's become clear that to be successful in today's business world, leaders need to prioritize purpose as much as profitability.

In The Prosperity Loop, forty-year business veteran Chris Lautenslager presents a formula for building a virtuous ongoing loop of shared organizational success. This work is for the leader who leans toward creating a socially conscious life, organization, and community. You will learn how committing to a common vision and collaboration with your employees will produce a more balanced approach for increasing profits and building prosperity.

Inside this book, you will find the stories and practices of organizations that have come to acknowledge and embrace those who are key to their company's success: their employees. You will see firsthand what can be made possible when The Prosperity Loop is put in motion.
