WHOPPING ZERO!
MEET STACEY
SHE IS ENGAGED.
She puts in a reasonable amount of hours but accomplishes a lot.

She motivates herself and does not need someone to tell her
what to do and when to do it.
She has fun at work.
She comes up with new ideas.
She improves inefficient processes.
She takes charge of important goals and
doesn’t wait for permission.
She produces.
STACEY CONTRIBUTES TO YOUR SUCCESS AS A COMPANY
AND MAKES YOU MONEY.

MEET
CRAWLEY
HE IS A ZOMBIE EMPLOYEE.
He moves; he shuffles.
When he runs up against a barrier (like a chain link fence in a
zombie movie), he stops, paralyzed with what to do. He doesn’t
go around it, look for fence cutters, or crawl over it. He just
pushes up against it hoping that more zombies will join and
the sheer weight will bring it down.
He lives to eat, and in zombie employee world, eating
is his paycheck.
His mind disengaged a long time ago.
He lives for the weekend.
He goes through the motions hoping no one notices.
He generates zero new ideas and zero improvements to
the process.
CRAWLEY MAKES YOUR COMPANY WORSE
AND LOSES YOU MONEY.

MAKE A LIST OF YOUR TOP FIVE
CRAWLEYS AND STACEYS
AT YOUR COMPANY.
A GALLUP POLL SHOWED THAT IN
THE AVERAGE COMPANY, ROUGHLY
29% OF EMPLOYEES
ARE TRULY ENGAGED.
That means a lot of zombies are walking your halls.

LESS THAN 1/3 OF
YOUR WORKFORCE
IS ENGAGED?
THAT’S LIKE. . .
A six-cylinder engine with only
two cylinders working
A tricycle with one wheel
A one-legged stool
A guitar with only two strings

Most companies are operating significantly below their capacity
due to a disengaged workforce.
If only a third of the workforce is engaged, either you have hired
all the wrong people (not likely) or the company culture is not
reinforcing engagement and producing an Owner mentality.
Either way, it leaves you incredibly handicapped to try to do all of
the work with only a third of your engine operating at full capacity.
Years ago, “Made in Japan” was synonymous with “Piece Of Crap”
“Made in Japan” now represents high quality products like Lexus,
Honda, Sony, etc. And it wasn’t because Japanese companies
swapped out their Japanese workers for foreigners who produced
better products. What changed was the work philosophy,
processes, systems, & company culture at some of their key
companies! Same workers, very different outcomes.

WHY VALUE OWNERS?
When you have a company of owners. . .
Many eyes are focused on the business, not
just the manager’s eyes.
Leaders are developed at every level resulting
in incredible bench strength.
You get true continuous improvement.
Accountability is high and driven at lower levels.
Waste is reduced.
More is accomplished and produced.

EMPLOYEES FEEL ENTITLED.
