Once you stop treating People Like functions or costs, disengaged workers begin to share their gifts and talents toward a shared future.
Chapman and coauthor Raj Sisodia show how any organization can reject the traumatic consequences of rolling layoffs, dehumanizing rules, and hypercompetitive cultures.
But they soon learn what it\'s Like to work at an exceptional workplace where the goal is for everyone to feel trusted and cared for--and where it\'s expected that they will justify that trust by Caring for each other and putting the common good first.
Every time Barry-Wehmiller acquires a company that relied on traditional management practices, the new team members are skeptical too.
It\'s natural to be skeptical when you first hear about this approach.
As a result, Barry-Wehmiller emerged from the downturn with higher employee morale than ever before.
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.
That\'s the approach Barry-Wehmiller took when the Great Recession caused revenue to plunge for more than a year.
If a parent loses his or her job, a Family doesn\'t lay off one of the kids.
During tough times a Family pulls together, makes sacrifices together, and endures short-term pain together.
That\'s not a cliche on a mission statement; it\'s the bedrock of the company\'s success.
Instead, Barry-Wehmiller manifests the reality that every single person matters, just Like in a family.
The company utterly rejects the idea that employees are simply functions, to be moved around, "managed" with carrots and sticks, or discarded at will.
Magazine Starting in 1997, Bob Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller have pioneered a dramatically different approach to leadership that creates off-the-charts morale, loyalty, creativity, and business performance. 7 billion manufacturing company Barry-Wehmiller, is on a mission to change the way businesses treat their employees." - Inc.
