A Company of Owners was birthed from a hallway conversation between the author and the COO of a 20 Billion dollar company. The author told the COO, "You need to fire all your employees. You don't want employees, you want people who act like owners."

When business tycoon Mark Cuban was asked how important to the success of a company is company culture he responded, "Culture is everything!"

Employee engagement is at an all time low. To make matters worse, only 16% of business leaders say their culture is where it needs to be. Regardless of the size of your company, you will find ideas in this book that will be immediately actionable to improve your company and yourself. One employee at a well known Computer Retail store, quit and started his own rideshare company as a result of reading this book.

  • Act like an owner
  • Be fully engaged
  • See the company as a connected silo free enterprise
  • Work effectively together
  • Focus on improving and growing the company
