The Great Game of Business and Open Book Management
We owe a debt of gratitude to Jack Stack and the good people at SRC Corp. of Springfield, MO who taught us how to play the Great Game of Business and become a company of owners: a company of people who think and act like business people and who have a stake in the outcome. We run our company on an open book system – our financial statements (and all other key metrics) are shared with everyone in the organization on a regular basis. Instead of Command and Control we believe in Inform and Empower.
Inform: we teach our people how to read and understand the company’s financial statements and how their particular role affects those statements. People are able to draw a straight line from their job to the company’s profitability. We teach people to see the Big Picture.
Empower: we give our employee/owners the freedom and the tools to do their job in the most effective and efficient way so that they can move the numbers in the right direction.
We strive to distribute the intelligence and decision-making power to all the nodes of the organization rather than aggregating them at the top. The result: a company of informed and educated people who understand the implications of their roles and decisions on the company’s financial health and performance. We’re all looking at the same numbers, we all understand our greatest challenges and opportunities and we all work together towards the same goals and objectives.
