When asked if they'd rather receive aid or work, the world's poorest people will always choose work. But the world's richest countries continue to send aid, targeting the symptoms, not the causes of poverty. Western countries have the best intentions, but charity-based aid often does more harm than good, and billions of people continue to suffer. According to Leila Janah, giving dignified, steady, fair-wage work is the most effective way to eradicate poverty.

Publisher's summary
How transformational leaders take what's broken and make it better.
At the helm of a broken company, with no operating capital or viable product offering, Patrick Colletti set out to rebuild an organization with loads of debt and no clear product or market presence. Now, over two decades later, that broken company is a "billion-dollar company with heart," reuniting caregivers with their calling (TM), who bring measurable healing to the hurt, wounded, and at-risk.
In Refounder: How Transformational Leaders Take What's Broken and Make it Better, you'll see how a small but committed group of visionaries took a broken health technology startup and created a thriving, humanity-enriching company. You'll discover the Refounder's approach and how their team applied it to every decision they made, even if sometimes unwittingly. You'll also meet industry leaders who operate with a Refounder's mentality, learning from their expertise in the fields of business, innovation, medicine, education, and personal development.
Are you ready to be a Refounder? Whether you're a C-suite executive hoping to change a struggling business, a middle manager tasked with revitalizing a dysfunctional team, or a community organizer attempting to renew the city block, Refounder is an invitation. Learn from Colletti and this collection of refounding experts, then, take what's broken and make it better.

Starting in 1997, Bob Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller pioneered a dramatically different approach to leadership that creates off-the-charts morale, loyalty, creativity, and business performance. The company utterly rejects the idea that employees are simply functions to be moved around, "managed" with carrots and sticks, or discarded at will. Instead Barry-Wehmiller manifests the reality that every single person matters, just like in a family. That's not a cliché on a mission statement; it's the bedrock of the company's success.

Eventually every job and every business will become irrelevant. According to Jason Jennings, the past few decades have seen unprecedented shifts: former third-world nations have transformed themselves into high-tech manufacturing powerhouses; technology has democratized business and increased competition in ways never before seen; and customers, used to getting exactly what they want when they want it, are no longer beholden to the corporate giants.

Too often we feel like underdogs fighting a system that stacks the odds against us. We work hard, follow the rules, and dream of a better life. But these days, working harder doesn't always lead to fulfillment. In fact, according to Gallup research, nearly 90% of people feel disconnected from their jobs. So how do you break free from the drudgery and achieve more success on your own terms? You hustle.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 314
Starting in 1997, Bob Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller pioneered a dramatically different approach to leadership that creates off-the-charts morale, loyalty, creativity, and business performance. The company utterly rejects the idea that employees are simply functions to be moved around, "managed" with carrots and sticks, or discarded at will. Instead Barry-Wehmiller manifests the reality that every single person matters, just like in a family. That's not a cliché on a mission statement; it's the bedrock of the company's success.

Eventually every job and every business will become irrelevant. According to Jason Jennings, the past few decades have seen unprecedented shifts: former third-world nations have transformed themselves into high-tech manufacturing powerhouses; technology has democratized business and increased competition in ways never before seen; and customers, used to getting exactly what they want when they want it, are no longer beholden to the corporate giants.

Careers are not linear, predictable ladders any longer; they are fluid trajectories. No matter our age, life stage, bank account balance, or seniority, we are all being asked to navigate career changes much more frequently than in years past. The average employee tenure in America is just four to five years, and even those roles change dramatically within that time. Our economy now demands that we create businesses and careers based on creativity, growth, and impact. In this dynamic world of work, the only move that matters is your next one.

Or what Steve Case might have done for PepsiCo if he hadn't left for a gaming start-up that eventually became AOL. What if Salomon Brothers had kept Michael Bloomberg, or Bear Stearns had exploited the inventive ideas of Stephen Ross? Scores of top-tier entrepreneurs worked for established corporations before they struck out on their own and became self-made billionaires.

It's an axiom of business that great companies grow their revenues and profits year after year. Yet quietly, under the radar, a small number of companies have rejected the pressure of endless growth to focus on more satisfying business goals. Goals like being great at what they do, creating a great place to work, providing great customer service, making great contributions to their communities, and finding great ways to lead their lives. In Small Giants, veteran journalist Bo Burlingham takes us deep inside 14 such remarkable companies.

From seemingly insignificant daily decisions to major life choices, you negotiate every time you aim to persuade, argue over a decision, or resolve a conflict. But as negotiations and leadership expert Erica Ariel Fox reveals, the most important negotiations - the ones that determine the impact of our actions and the quality of our lives - are those we have with ourselves.

Turn your business and life around with this book.
This book does a great job of laying out the steps for helping any business or organization become the best version of itself.
I really enjoyed how the author ties in personal stories about himself and others to reinforce his points to showcase what Refounders look like in a variety of industries.
Even though this book is aimed at turning an underperforming business, community, school, etc. around, I would recommend and encourage new startups to read this book as well and use this principles laid out as a foundation of creating something incredible from the start.
Well done!

Great Read
I listen to a lot of audio books. I stop listening to about half before the end of the first chapter. Of the ones I finish, about 10% get a second listen and this is one of those books. The author is such an authentic leader. The book has great applicability in anyone's life, not just business leaders like Colletti who saved a failing tech company. If you are a parent, a neighbor, a friend, basically anyone who wants to make a positive lasting impact in this world, buy this book and read it twice. FANTASTIC
