In the stormy seas of today's world economy, organizations need all hands on deck

In the stormy seas of today's world economy, organizations need people to own their work, not just rent a spot on the organization chart. All Hands on Deck is a fun-to-read story that is both a business strategy book about creating competitive advantage through corporate culture, and a personal development book that will inspire readers to be more committed and engaged with their work and their organizations. Drawing upon the wisdom of some of the greatest and most beloved business leaders of the 20th century, this essential guide:

Creates a virtual roadmap for building a culture of ownership where so workers are inspired to think and act like partners in the enterprise, and not just hired hands
Shares practical and proven strategies for earning employee buy-in and commitment to the values, vision, and purpose of the organization
Features the real-world wisdom of some of the most successful and beloved business leaders of the 20th century, including Walt Disney, Ray Kroc, Mary Kay Ash, Bill Hewlett, and Dave Packard

A stirring resource for today's business environment, All Hands on Deck shares the tools you need to create an organization that competes and succeeds in today's turbulent world, and the inspiration that your people need to put those tools to work.

All Corey Whitaker wanted from the? airport limo ride was a few quiet minutes to think about how, in his role as new CEO, he could pull Owatt Hospitality Services back from the brink of bankruptcy. So he was annoyed to learn that someone else would be sharing his limo...until he saw who that person was! In All Hands on Deck, Walt Disney introduces Corey—and you—to some of history's greatest business leaders.

As you follow Walt and Corey on their journey in this intriguing story, you will learn how:

Henry Ford inspired a company, and changed the world, with a compelling vision
Tom Watson created the cultural blueprint that transformed IBM into a powerhouse
General Robert Wood Johnson fostered cultural toughness at J&J to turn every adversity into advantage
Ray Kroc built a worldwide fast food empire held together with the glue of trust
Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard shaped "the HP Way" with the power of stories
Mary Kay Ash inspired one of the most enthusiastic sales forces the world has ever seen
And a lot more

You cannot hold people accountable for the things that really matter. To compete in today's tough economy, you must have a culture of ownership. In this book, you'll learn how legendary business leaders did it. All Hands on Deck is an inspiring story that takes you—and your business—on the journey of cultural transformation. You will learn practical strategies that will help you build an authentic culture, where employees show up to work for more than just a paycheck, see themselves as partners in the enterprise, and translate their spirit of ownership into sustained high performance. In today's stormy economic seas, you need All Hands on Deck!

—Jon Gordon, author of The Energy Bus and Soup

"People don't do anything worthwhile until they are inspired, which is perhaps why Martin Luther King didn't stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and say, 'I have a strategic plan.' Inspire them, engage them, invite them to take ownership, and your employees will move mountains. Once again, Joe Tye hits a home run!"

—Matthew Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of The Dream Manager and The Rhythm of Life
