Do you want to boost the morale, loyalty, creativity and performance of your employees?

In Everybody Matters, CEO Bob Chapman and bestselling author Raj Sisodia challenge traditional thinking about how to run a business and show you how to lead your company so that everyone feels valued.

As CEO of Barry-Wehmiller, Bob Chapman has pioneered a dramatically different approach to leadership that has created a high performing and happy culture. At Barry-Wehmiller, every single person matters, just like in a family. That's not a cliché; it's the bedrock of the company's success.

In Everybody Matters, Chapman shows how any organization can stop viewing its employees are simply func­tions, to be moved around, 'managed' with carrots and sticks, or discarded at will. By doing so, disengaged workers begin to share their gifts and talents toward a shared future. Uninspired workers stop feeling that their jobs have no meaning. And everyone stops counting the minutes until it's time to go home.

Everybody Matters provides clear steps to transform your own workplace, whether you lead two or two hundred thousand people.

Critic reviews

Bob Chapman believes that every man and every woman in this country should go to work in the morning and return home in the evening feeling fulfilled by the day. There are companies that are great places to work, for sure. But what Bob envisions is much bolder. Bob's vision is not based on the charisma of a single leader, but on the collective genius of all the people inside the company
Bob Chapman is on a mission to change the way businesses treat their employees
If you're ready for a new way of doing business, this is the book for you
Is it possible to run a successful business without treating people like numbers? Can a corporate culture of mistrust and insecurity be transformed into one of caring and fulfillment? Everybody Matters answers these questions with an enthusiastic "Yes!" If you're ready for a new way of doing business, this is the book for you
It is almost impossible for me to adequately convey my admiration, excitement, and incredulity . . . To give people the power and freedom to care for each other, to trust that people want to do well and be good . . . and to see how these things create value for everyone - it doesn't get better than that
Everybody Matters simply blew me away. This is THE book that practically every corporate CEO has been breathlessly waiting for . . . even if they don't yet know it!
When it comes to maximizing potential, Chapman and his team at Barry-Wehmiller have it figured it out. This deeply moving and practical book will have you asking yourself 'Why haven't we been doing this?' Now you can begin tomorrow!

A great case study on how to incorporate human sustainability alongside commercial success and growth as performance indicators within organisations, and how to lead with a people-first mindset. However, the book is a bit repetitive and has a slightly sanctimonious tone. and is written from a very paternalistic, mainstream perspective.
