About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Do you want to boost the morale, loyalty, creativity and performance of your employees?

In Everybody Matters, CEO Bob Chapman and best-selling author Raj Sisodia challenge traditional thinking about how to run a business and show you how to lead your company so that everyone feels valued.

As CEO of Barry-Wehmiller, Bob Chapman has pioneered a dramatically different approach to leadership that has created a high-performing and happy culture. At Barry-Wehmiller, every single person matters, just like in a family. That's not a cliché; it's the bedrock of the company's success.

In Everybody Matters, Chapman shows how any organisation can stop viewing its employees are simply func­tions, to be moved around, 'managed' with carrots and sticks, or discarded at will. By doing so, disengaged workers begin to share their gifts and talents towards a shared future. Uninspired workers stop feeling that their jobs have no meaning. And everyone stops counting the minutes until it's time to go home.

Everybody Matters provides clear steps to transform your own workplace, whether you lead two or 200,000 people.

A great case study on how to incorporate human sustainability alongside commercial success and growth as performance indicators within organisations, and how to lead with a people-first mindset. However, the book is a bit repetitive and has a slightly sanctimonious tone. and is written from a very paternalistic, mainstream perspective.
