Inspired and Intentional Business Podcast - Open Book Management, Business Vision, Employee Engagement, Balancing Profit and Social Impact

In the United States, according to Gallup, nearly 70% of employees are not engaged in their work. Disengagement negatively affects profitability and productivity. I believe there are 3 ways businesses can improve engagement. One, they inspire with a clear vision. Two, they practice open-book management. Three, they intentionally build collaborative, accountable, strength-focused teams. My intention is to inspire owners considering a new way to run their business and to encourage those currently fighting the good fight to balance profits and social impact. Let’s be inspired. The show will touch on business strategy, vision, internal communication, finance, accounting, organizational development, team-building, marketing, sales, and operations. Inspirations for the show include The Great Game of Business, by Jack Stack; Zingermans Community of Businesses, Ari Weinzweig, Paul Saginaw, Small Giants by Bo Burlingham, Open Book Managment by John Case, Zappos, and others.

Cliff Hanger!!! Next week, in our final episode with maggie, we’ll learn how to keep your systems from creating too much corporate bureaucracy.

 

But for this episode here are three questions for you to consider:

1. The managing partner program - what are you succession plans? I really like how they looked outside of the concept of the deli to create opportunities for advancement. Did you get any new ideas on ways to open opportunities for potential leaders in your organization?

 

2. Maggie talks about potential managing partners having a vision for where they want the business to be in a certain time period. It got me to thinking - do I have a vision for the business I’m currently in? Do I have one for the podcast?  What kind of vision do you have for your business?

 

3. What could you learn from taking a class from someone like ZingTrain? I took their class while working at a Fortune 500 electrical/comm data wholesaler and learned tons that we could apply…or adapt for our business. I would encourage you to look them up. (I’m not making anything from this.)

 

I would love to see your answers at one of the many Inspired and Intentional outlets:
