“Turning Your Employees into Owners”
Whether you intend to sell your business or not, helping your employees think like owners will enhance your company’s performance. Scot Hunsaker has built his speaking career by sharing his experience of how he taught his management team to do exactly that, and in less time!
Join Scot as he shares the exact tools that created a culture of ownership and a successful transition of his company to its employees, including a deep dive into the five functions that allow employees to think like owners.
Book a Speaking Engagement
Have Authentic Conversations
- Create a “we” instead of an “us vs. them” mentality.
- Show the numbers.
- Transfer your instincts.
Identify Your Leadership Team Bench
- Create a structure where those would-be leaders can emerge.
- Allow for self-selection of the team.
- Lead change on a strategic level, not a tactical level.
Transfer Knowledge
- The worst place to store knowledge is in your own head.
- Knowledge is not power. Sharing knowledge is power.
- You must share both the science and the art of business to create a foundation for legacy.
Be an Innovator, Not a Guardian
- Leaders manage change. If it were not for change, we would not need leadership.
- Create ways that people in the organization can make changes at the system level.
- Your legacy is more than a set of processes; it is a mindset.
Trust with Confidence
- You cannot trust with confidence until you have authentic conversations, emergent leadership, transfer of knowledge, and innovation culture.
- Trusting means that there is a deep understanding of what ownership really means.
- Setting up your business legacy requires you to have a clear definition of success and the plan to get there.
