It’s an insidious disease that is crippling companies,
destroying our economy, and crushing potential. It’s infecting the
very roots of business performance, and it’s spreading fast. It
isn’t the recession, market volatility, scandal, or greed.
It’s entitlement.
And it may be killing your business.
In myriad ways, entitlement has been cultivated for decades. As a
result, too many employees today believe that they are entitled to
a paycheck simply because they show up. Brad Hams has proven that
we are not doomed to a path of entitlement and dependence. After
more than 15 years working with hundreds of companies, he knows
that the vast majority of employees addicted to entitlement
actually want to engage, want to contribute, and feel much better
about themselves when they are in an environment that requires them
to do so.
Now, with Ownership Thinking, Hams shares his strategy that will
increase your company’s productivity, employee retention, and
profitability:
The Right Education: Teach employees the fundamentals of business
and finance, how their company makes money, and how they add—or
take away—value.
The Right Measures: Identify the organization’s Key Performance
Indicators and teach employees to forecast results in an
environment of high visibility and accountability.
The Right Incentives: Create incentive plans that are
self-funding and clearly align employees’ behavior to the
organization’s business and financial objectives.
Your employees will learn to think and act like owners and will
become active participants in the financial performance of the
business. They will gain the self-esteem that is only possible
through achievement and will reap rewards that are in alignment
with the success of their organization. Meanwhile, you will enjoy
your role more, sleep better at night, and leave a legacy that is
far more inspiring and significant than you dreamed possible.
