We’re back with another selection for The Good Food CFO Book Club!
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
