Episode 92 :: The Great Game of Business
We’re back with another selection for The Good Food CFO Book Club!(Video + closed caption available on YouTube)The Great Game of Business, written by Jack Stack and Bo Burlingham, is a documentation and story telling of how SRC Holdings Corporation was approaching business differently.
SRC wasn’t run in the traditional top-down way most other companies are. They practiced what Jack calls “Open Book Management” and found success playing “The Great Game of Business”. The result was that they built a repeatable system that enabled their associates to run the company and even branch off to build a new arm of the business.
In this episode you’ll hear what I took away from this book, including:
How to communicate to your team about the big picture, and what you are trying to accomplish
What it means to operate under Open Book Management
Creating the game plan, setting the right goals, and getting buy-in from the team
The tools and resources you can use to support all of this work
You can read along with us, get your copy of The Great Game of Business from our BookShop today!
