What's the secret to having an engaged and productive company? It’s All About the People - don't be a soul sucking CEO.
It’s often said, with nods of wise agreement, that any organization is nothing without its people. Countless books and courses on leadership, over many decades, address this well-known and accepted axiom. Then why are nearly 70 percent of all employees in the U.S. disengaged at work? Clearly, the conferences, books, courses and motivational speakers are insufficient to make a difference.
This book written by Garry Ridge, WD-40 Company Chairman and CEO will be a look “under the hood” of one of the world’s most recognized brands, where employee engagement is above 93percent , 98 percent say they “love to work at WD-40 Company”, and 97percent say that their “opinions and values are a good fit” for WD-40 Company. This high engagement has resulted in a company that has doubled in revenue in the last decade and is on a trajectory to double again in the next. In 2017, Inc. magazine named Garry Ridge fourth on the World’s Top Ten CEOs that totally lead in a unique way and in 2019, received the #1 Coach for Culture Creation by Marshall Goldsmith Thinkers50.
