Mohammad Anwar Biography

Mohammad Anwar is the president and CEO of Softway and Culture+, a Wall Street Journal bestselling author and entrepreneur recognized for his approach to workplace culture and human-centered leadership. Anwar founded Softway as a technology services company with his family while pursuing a Bachelor of Science in computer science and a minor in mathematics at the University of Houston. The company evolved from a small web development shop into a global consulting firm specializing in workplace culture, digital transformation, communication, and artificial intelligence integration.

Anwar's leadership philosophy was shaped during a period of organizational crisis, when a toxic workplace culture threatened Softway's survival. Taking responsibility for the company's challenges, Anwar led a transformation focused on people and six key behaviors: inclusion, empathy, vulnerability, trust, empowerment, and forgiveness. This shift became the foundation for the company's renewed direction and growth.

Anwar co-authored the book "Love as a Business Strategy," which documents this journey and advocates for a more human approach to leadership. He later established Culture+ as a standalone organization dedicated to transforming workplace behaviors and fostering high-performing teams. Culture+ operates with over 200 employees in Houston and Bengaluru. Anwar also co-hosts the "Love as a Business Strategy" podcast, where he discusses leadership, organizational culture, and business innovation.

Following the success of his first book, Anwar and his co-authors published "Love as a Change Strategy: Innovation, Growth, and Transformation." The book combines memoir, practical guidance, and leadership insights, emphasizing the impact of leading organizational change with empathy and humanity.

Anwar is a keynote speaker and industry expert on topics including business leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, diversity and inclusion, and strategic leadership. As a member of the Forbes Business Council, Anwar addresses audiences on the importance of people-first leadership in the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and organizational change.

Mohammad Anwar Speaking Topics

  • Love As A Business Strategy

    This session will cover the dramatic effect 'love' had on our business, our strategy, and our people. In it, Mohammad will bust the doors down and demystify the word 'love' once and for all. As a business professional and practitioner, Mohammad will make a compelling case for why 'love' should be part of every business strategy, and how it could even become your competitive advantage. By showcasing tangible outcome-oriented examples of how love—when practically and thoughtfully applied to every area of your business—can make it thrive.

    Problems we're trying to solve: We're trying to dismantle the outdated approach to a "command and control" environment, by proving just how much behavior has to do with achieving business outcomes. We're also out to prove just how much of an outsized influence leadership behavior has on everyone in the organization.

    Intended outcomes:

    • Attendees will walk away with new ideas and fresh approaches to bring out the best in their employees, their companies, and themselves.
    • Attendees will see how 'love' can change their behavior towards each other, and lead to more inclusion and diversity as a result.
    • Attendees will leave inspired to do their part in bringing humanity to their workplace.
