The most successful ESOP companies have one thing in common. Their employees are not just motivated and engaged, they are actively engaged in structured opportunities to identify problems and generate new ideas. Open doors are not enough; you need a system that not only makes this possible but makes it part of people's jobs. This book brings together the best ideas from the best companies that have made this happen-and shows you how to make it happen in your own company. "Corey Rosen has been our professor all along the way in helping us find how to make employee ownership work. In this book he will show you the way too." -Jack Stack, President and CEO, SRC Holdings Corp. "This collection of true stories will be an invaluable resource for those business leaders who want to build special companies designed to unleash the people power in their companies to create extraordinary business performance and fulfilling work lives for their employee-owners. I wished we had these examples over 30 years ago as Web Industries experimented slowly and sometimes painfully over many years to achieve some measure of success. This gem of a book provides real-life tutorials that will give leaders the confidence to embrace the transformation challenge, lead change deliberately, and build lasting value for their companies and their people." -Donnie Romine, former CEO, Web Industries "Each company example is interesting in itself, and together they make a powerful, practical case for ownership-style management." - John Case, author, Open-Book Management
