#1 Book Recommendation for Culture - "Everybody Matters"

by an investor from University of Rochester

1 month ago

Our company was voted the #1 place to work in NY and I'm often asked by Searchers how they can personally impact culture post-close.

My top recommendation is to read the book - "Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family" by Bob Chapman and assess how you could implement their strategy.  Bob's story at Barry-Wehmiller involved several acquisitions (context for ETA) and is taught annually in our Strategic Risk Management program.

Book link and review below, please feel free to comment with other "must reads!" ^Searchfunder member‌
