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.

The group at ZingTrain were kind enough to give me permission to share episodes from their free webinar series. I've collected a few into 4 areas of business.

Series one is based on getting a good start with Visioning and Leadership. Begin with yourself by understanding the concept of mindfulness and self management. Learn the importance of being a servant leader. And then move onto creating a vision you and your team can believe in.

Once you have a vision you can move onto series 2 and begin to work on building the team around you to reach those goals. Here you learn how to tune up your team so they operate at full capacity. Once they're running you learn how to effectively measure their success with performance reviews. Because change is constant you will learn how to undertake bottom-line change.

In order for your team to work independently and fully engaged in how the company generates cash and runs profitably, you will deep deep dive into Open Book Management, or OBM. You'll learn what it is. Then you will learn how to make the concept of tracking numbers fun by playing games. After running OBM for a while, the ZingTrain crew share the lessons they've learned. Some years you will struggle hitting those targets. If so, listen to FIVE FANTASTIC TIPS TO MEET YOUR ANNUAL TARGETS.

You're in a perfect state of zen, have a great team, and are operating with open book management like no one's business. How do you handle the growth? They've got you covered with series 4. Instead of necessarily growing your core business, why not start a community of businesses? Who's going to run all these new businesses? Why not create a system to make employees owners and the processes used to accomplish this?

Here's the entire library of free webinars you can find at ZingTrain's site.

When you click the links below you will be directed to each webinar's specific page where you will find the audio files, the slides, and many other resources. The amount of material available for each webinar varies.
