The What: The Great Game of Business
If you’ve heard about the Great Game of Business® but still don’t know the story of how or why it began, you might want the original, The Great Game of Business - The Only Sensible Way to Run a Company.
“This book is for people who are fed up with management systems that don’t work. It’s for managers who have tried every motivational tool under the sun and still can’t get people to perform up to their abilities.” – Jack Stack
The How: Get in the Game
If you are fascinated by the Great Game™and/or are eager to learn more about exactly how to best play The Game, Get in the Game - How to Create Rapid Financial Results and Lasting Cultural Change is the one for you.
“If you have heard about ‘open-book management’ and are wondering what all the fuss is about, this is the book for you. Rich Armstrong and Steve Baker explain the simple but powerful method that will unlock your business’s potential for growth and profit.” – James Ledbetter
The Why: Change the Game
If you've read The Great Game of Business, but are curious if the approach works as well for other companies and/or will work for your own, you need to read Change the Game - Saving the American Dream by Closing the Gap Between the Haves and the Have-Nots.
“It’s for CEOs who wonder why their companies don’t make more money even after they’ve installed all the latest bells and whistles from the business gurus. It’s for everyone who has ever dreamed of working in a company run on democratic principles—the same principles we demand in every other aspect of our lives.” – Jack Stack
Building A Culture of Ownership
Is your company ready to build a culture of ownership? Having an ownership culture allows companies to tap into their most underutilized resource in business today–namely, the enthusiasm, intelligence, and creativity of working people everywhere. Stack draws from his own successes and failures at SRC to show how any company can teach its employees to think and act like owners. Learn how to implement an effective equity-sharing program, promote continuous learning at every level of the organization, fire up employees’ competitive juices, broaden the concept of leadership and delegate responsibility for the business, and how to build a workforce that is fast on its feet and ready to take advantage of every opportunity.
Use these books as fuel to finally start turning your business around!
The Higher Laws of Business were introduced in the 1992 book The Great Game of Business by Jack Stack and Bo Burlingham. They explain how and why we teach employees to think and act like owners. You won’t find them taught in Harvard University’s MBA Program or the World Dictionary of Business Idioms. Rather, these common-sense laws exist in the minds and souls of people who are street smart and have real-life experience in the world of business. Mention any of these laws and they’ll likely grin and say, "By getting people to think at the highest level, you make it possible for them to perform up to the peak of their abilities."
