Bob Chapman

Much studied CEO Bob Chapman and bestselling author Raj Sisodia take on one of the greatest misconceptions of modern business—that leadership starts with getting the right people on the bus (and the wrong people off). Real leader enable the people already on the bus to achieve extraordinary things. Too many companies focus only on producing the best products; Bob Chapman says we should put our efforts into bringing out the best in the people who produce them. Over the past few decades, he has transformed Barry-Wehmiller from a broken one-hundred-year-old manufacturing business into a thriving global firm, by acquiring challenged companies and leading them in creating a better future. However, instead of using cost cuts, cosmetic changes, financial hijinks and major layoffs, Chapman did it by inspiring the people within the business around a shared vision of a better tomorrow. When he looks into a challenged company, he usually sees disenfranchised team members, undeveloped value, unheard complaints, and a lack of inspiration. As he frequently points out, seven out of eight people believe the company they work for does not care about them. Chapman advocates creating environments teeming with care, compassion, and human connection to bring out the best in the employees. When that happens, both the business and its people flourish. In this book, Chapman and Sisodia challenge traditional thinking about how to run a business and, above all, how to be an inspirational leader. Through actual stories and proven how-to techniques, you’ll see how the cultural transformation Chapman championed throughout Barry-Wehmiller became the fuel for its robust growth and created meaningful work and personal fulfillment for its team members.

You’ll be inspired and equipped with actionable build a better organization and a better world.

La empresa rechaza totalmente la idea según la cual los empleados son simples funciones que pueden intercambiarse, motivarse» mediante el recurso del palo y la zanahoria o despedirse a voluntad. En Barry-Wehmiller están convencidos de que todo el mundo es importante, como en cualquier familia. En los malos momentos, las familias permanecen unidas, sus miembros hacen sacrificios juntos y capean juntos las adversidades. Si el padre pierde el trabajo, no se deshace de uno de sus hijos. Ése es el enfoque que adoptó Barry-Wehmiller cuando la Gran Recesión hizo que sus ingresos se desplomaran. En lugar de recurrir a los despidos masivos, hallaron formas creativas y solidarias de reducir los costes. Como resultado de ello, Barry-Wehmiller salió de la crisis con la moral de sus trabajadores reforzada. Chapman y Raj Sisodia muestran en este libro cómo una organización puede rechazar las consecuencias traumáticas de los despidos en masa, las normas deshumanizadoras y las culturas hipercompetitivas. En cuanto dejas de considerar a las personas como funciones o costes, los liberados trabajadores empiezan a compartir sus habilidades y talentos en pos de un objetivo común. Los trabajadores frustrados dejan de tener la sensación de que su trabajo no tiene sentido. Y todo el mundo deja de contar los minutos que faltan para irse a casa.

Now revised and expanded with five new chapters for the 10th anniversary of its 2015 publication, the beloved classic on truly human leadership“Bob Chapman, CEO of the $1.7 billion manufacturing company Barry-Wehmiller, is on a mission to change the way businesses treat their employees.” – Inc. MagazineStarting 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. 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, Barry-Wehmiller manifests the reality that every single person matters, just like in a family. It’s not a cliché on a mission statement; it’s the bedrock of the company’s success.It’s natural to be skeptical when you first hear about this approach. Every time Barry-Wehmiller acquires a company whose team members have experienced more traditional management practices, the new team members are skeptical too. But they soon learn what it’s like to work at an exceptional company 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 one another 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. In this tenth anniversary update to Everybody Matters, Chapman and Sisodia share new statistics and analysis on the leadership crisis that continues to plague modern businesses and that only Truly Human Leadership—pioneered at Barry-Wehmiller—can fix. Packed with additional insights gained over a decade as the company has evolved, weathered a pandemic, and grown from $1.7 billion in annual revenue with 100 acquisitions to $3.6 billion with more than 140 acquisitions, this updated classic is needed now more than ever.As Chapman says, “The way we lead impacts the way people live.” Once you stop treating people like functions or costs, disengaged workers begin to share their gifts and talents in service of 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 it’s time to go home. This is the journey documented in Everybody Matters; now it’s time to transform your own workplace.

Começando em 1997, Bob Chapman e Barry-Wehmiller se tornaram pioneiros em uma abordagem dramaticamente diferente de liderança que cria resultados surpreendentes de lealdade, moral, inovação e desempenho. A empresa rejeita radicalmente a ideia de que os funcionários são apenas ativos que podem ser deslocados, "gerenciados" com cenoura e vara, ou descartados quando não são mais necessários. Em vez disso, a Barry-Wehmiller manifesta a realidade de que cada indivíduo é importante, como em uma família. Isso não é um clichê em uma declaração de missão; é a fundação do sucesso da empresa. Durante tempos difíceis, uma família se une, faz sacrifícios coletivamente e supera as dores de curto prazo em conjunto. Se um pai ou uma mãe perde seu emprego, a família não demite um de seus filhos. Essa foi a abordagem que a Barry-Wehmiller adotou quando a Grande Recessão de 2008-2009 fez as receitas despencarem por mais de um ano. Ao invés de demissões em massa, eles encontraram maneiras criativas e cuidadosas de reduzir custos, como, por exemplo, pedindo para seus funcionários tirarem um mês de licença não remunerada. Como resultado, a Barry-Wehmiller emergiu da crise com a moral de seus funcionários mais alta do que nunca. É natural ficar cético quando se escuta sobre essa abordagem pela primeira vez. Toda vez que a Barry-Wehmiller adquire uma nova empresa que confiava em práticas de gestão tradicionais, os novos membros da equipe também ficam céticos. Mas eles logo entendem o que é trabalhar em um ambiente excepcional, onde o objetivo é que todos se sintam respeitados e cuidados – e onde eles terão que justificar a confiança depositada em cada um através do cuidado com seus colegas e colocando o bem comum em primeiro lugar. Chapman e o coautor Raj Sisodia mostram como qualquer organização pode rejeitar as consequências traumáticas de demissões sucessivas, regras desumanizadas e culturas hipercompetitivas. Assim que você para de tratar as pessoas como funções ou custos, empregados desengajados começam a compartilhar seus talentos e habilidades em prol de um futuro compartilhado. Empregados desmotivados param de sentir que seus trabalhos não têm significado. Empregados frustrados param de descontar seus dias ruins de trabalho em suas esposas e filhos. E todos param de contar os minutos até a hora de ir para casa. Este livro traz as crônicas da jornada de Chapman para encontrar o seu verdadeiro propósito, indo por trás das cenas onde sua equipe trata os desafios diários com cuidado, empatia e inspiração. Também proporciona um passo a passo para transformar o seu próprio ambiente de trabalho, seja você o líder de duas ou de duzentas mil pessoas. Embora a abordagem da Barry-Wehmiller não seja fácil, ela é simples. Conforme destacam os "Todos querem ser melhores. Confie neles. Líderes estão em toda parte. Encontre-os. As pessoas realizam coisas boas, grandes e pequenas, todos os dias. Celebre-as. Algumas pessoas gostariam que as coisas fossem diferentes. Escute-as. Todos são importantes. Mostre a eles." "O que mais me sensibilizou na leitura do livro foi a genuína preocupação com a vida das pessoas demonstrada na prática por Bob Chapman; a consciência que a qual
