Summary of A Stake In The Outcome (Jack Stack and Bo Burlingham)
Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
Can an employee-owned company function as effectively as a company run by professional managers for its owners?
Conventional wisdom says no
, but a growing number of companies would say yes
. The key, however, is not simply to pay performance bonuses, hand out stock options or even just to set up an employee stock ownership plan. To succeed in creating an employee-owned and operated company, employees have to be taught how to think and act like owners. In short, an ownership culture needs to be fostered within the business organization. Achieve that and your company can and will consistently outperform the market.
To build a sustainable ownership culture, employees need to be provided with two things:
The right tools for the job – which will mean training in how to read and understand the financials of the business.
The right attitudes for the job – consisting of a willingness to innovate and optimize continually.
Many people confuse open book management
with building an ownership culture. They assume that if a company discloses all the critical financial information to its employees, they will automatically act in the best interests of the company. The only problem with that idea is that most employees have a fairly basic grasp of financial reporting. Consequently, even if they have access to more complete financial information, they have no experience in interpreting that information in meaningful ways. In addition, most employees tend to be process focused – they look at their operational part of the business and understand what’s required there but are unable to relate those operational issues to the broader operation of the company as a whole.
To illustrate how well an employee-owned company can perform, consider the example of Springfield ReManufacturing Corporation (SRC) based in southwestern Missouri. In 1983, 13 employees led by CEO Jack Stack invested $100,000 to buy the factory where they worked. At that time, the company had sales of $16 million, 119 employees and each share of SRC stock
