Synopsis

Empowerment = Excellence. Employee-owned companies outperform their counterparts in productivity, profitability, and long-term sustainability.
 
The Key to Leadership Is Taking Ownership

Owners act and think differently than employees. To an owner, a business is more than a source of income. It's part of their identity. They view its success as their own.
It's the conscious development of this mindset in oneself and others—learning to "think like an owner"—that makes the difference between paycheck players and top performers.

By undertaking this dramatic shift in mentality from an employee mindset to an ownership mindset, Kerry Siggins pulled herself from the depths of substance abuse and a dead-end lifestyle to become the head of StoneAge, one of the world's leading manufacturers of industrial cleaning equipment, and a finalist for Colorado's CEO of the Year.

In The Ownership Mindset, Kerry shares the blueprint for her innovative initiatives like the Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP), where employees are empowered to become stakeholders, fostering a culture of shared ownership and commitment.
Adopting a plan like Kerry's results in:
 
 
 

• Enhanced Performance: ESOPs boost productivity, profitability, and sustainability.
• Retention and Motivation: Employees stay engaged and motivated with a stake in the company's success.
• Aligned Interests: ESOPs align employee, shareholder, and management interests.
• Wealth Creation: Employees benefit from potential stock value appreciation.
• Tax Advantages: ESOPs offer tax benefits for both employers and employees.
• Succession Planning: ESOPs facilitate smooth transitions and ensure business continuity.
• Employee Engagement: ESOPs foster active participation and a sense of ownership.

 
Packed with practical advice, compelling research, and unforgettable stories for everyone from a first-time manager to a seasoned CEO, The Ownership Mindset is a must-read powerful tool for driving success by fostering a culture of ownership, aligning interests, and incentivizing employees to contribute to the company's growth and profitability.
