OWNERSHIP THINKING: HOW TO END ENTITLEMENT AND CREATE A CULTURE OF ACCOUNTABILITY, PURPOSE, AND PROFIT

Book ID/图书代码： 14940311B48606

English Summary/英文概要： It’s an insidious disease that is crippling companies, destroying our economy, and crushing potential. It’s infecting the very roots of business performance, and it’s spreading fast. It isn’t the recession, market volatility, scandal, or greed. It’s entitlement.

And it may be killing your business.

In myriad ways, entitlement has been cultivated for decades. As a result, too many employees today believe that they are entitled to a paycheck simply because they show up. Brad Hams has proven that we are not doomed to a path of entitlement and dependence. After more than 15 years working with hundreds of companies, he knows that the vast majority of employees addicted to entitlement actually want to engage, want to contribute, and feel much better about themselves when they are in an environment that requires them to do so.

Now, with Ownership Thinking, Hams shares his strategy that will increase your company’s productivity, employee retention, and profitability:
* The Right Education: Teach employees the fundamentals of business and finance, how their company makes money, and how they add—or take away—value.
* The Right Measures: Identify the organization’s Key Performance Indicators and teach employees to forecast results in an environment of high visibility and accountability.
* The Right Incentives: Create incentive plans that are self-funding and clearly align employees’ behavior to the organization’s business and financial objectives.

Your employees will learn to think and act like owners and will become active participants in the financial performance of the business. They will gain the self-esteem that is only possible through achievement and will reap rewards that are in alignment with the success of their organization. Meanwhile, you will enjoy your role more, sleep better at night, and leave a legacy that is far more inspiring and significant than you dreamed possible.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 隨著時勢變化，現代人的想法已和過去不同，因此帶領員工的方式必須與時俱進。現今有個越來越普遍的文化正在漸漸影響每間企業，若無法掌握最新的領導方式，這個文化將對公司產生嚴重損害！這不是另一波經濟衰退，也不是變化多端的市場機制，而是「應得文化」(cultures of entitlement)！
「應得文化」是指「別人有，我也要有」的心態，現代人普遍認為只要他們做了某種程度的貢獻，就應該得到相等報酬。他們這樣思考並不是想偷懶，其實每個人都非常希望能被公司需要，可以貢獻所長，投入工作。因此當務之急是該如何激勵員工，增加員工的生產力。Brad Hams在15年內協助數百家企業如何增進管理方式，留住員工並提升公司生產力。以下是其中三項策略：
* 改變員工培訓方式，教導員工基本的財務知識，告訴他們可以如何為公司增值。
* 運用適當的策略，確立公司的關鍵績效指標，創造一個事事透明化的公司環境，讓員工能了解公司目標並得知達到目標後的美好願景。
* 提供適當的鼓勵，訂定的獎勵必須讓員工得到個人獲益，如此才能達到最大的激勵效果，讓員工與公司緊密結合。
透過管理方式的改進，員工便能用「我是老闆」的角度思考，變的更樂於工作並主動出擊，進而增加公司生產力與競爭優勢，在變化多端的商場及時代潮流之中立於不敗之地！(Chris)
