Bob Chapman, CEO of the $1.7 billion manufacturing company BarryWehmiller, is on a mission to change the way businesses treat their employees. Inc. MagazineStarting in 1997, Bob Chapman and BarryWehmiller have pioneered a dramatically different approach to leadership that creates offthecharts morale, loyalty, creativity, and business performance. The company utterly rejects the idea that employees are simply functions, to be moved around, 'managed' with carrots and sticks, or discarded at will. Instead, BarryWehmiller manifests the reality that every single person matters, just like in a family. Thats not a clich on a mission statement; its the bedrock of the companys success.During tough times a family pulls together, makes sacrifices together, and endures shortterm pain together. If a parent loses his or her job, a family doesnt lay off one of the kids. Thats the approach BarryWehmiller took when the Great Recession caused revenue to plunge for more than a year. Instead of mass layoffs, they found creative and caring ways to cut costs, such as asking team members to take a month of unpaid leave. As a result, BarryWehmiller emerged from the downturn with higher employee morale than ever before.Its natural to be skeptical when you first hear about this approach. Every time BarryWehmiller acquires a company that relied on traditional management practices, the new team members are skeptical too. But they soon learn what its like to work at an exceptional workplace where the goal is for everyone to feel trusted and cared forand where its expected that they will justify that trust by caring for each other and putting the common good first.Chapman and coauthor Raj Sisodia show how any organization can reject the traumatic consequences of rolling layoffs, dehumanizing rules, and hypercompetitive cultures. Once you stop treating people like functions or costs, disengaged workers begin to share their gifts and talents toward a shared future. Uninspired workers stop feeling that their jobs have no meaning. Frustrated workers stop taking their bad days out on their spouses and kids. And everyone stops counting the minutes until its time to go home.This book chronicles Chapmans journey to find his true calling, going behind the scenes as his team tackles realworld challenges with caring, empathy, and inspiration. It also provides clear steps to transform your own workplace, whether you lead two people or two hundred thousand. While the BarryWehmiller way isnt easy, it is simple. As the authors put it:'Everyone wants to do better. Trust them. Leaders are everywhere. Find them. People achieve good things, big and small, every day. Celebrate them. Some people wish things were different. Listen to them. Everybody matters. Show them.'
