About the Book

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.

Praise for Ownership Thinking

--Chip Conley, founder and executive chair, Joie de Vivre; author, Peak

"Comprehensive and marvelously clear, Ownership Thinking's techniques for creating change are focused, direct, and motivating. This is a wise book, unusually useful, and I recommend it most highly."

"Brad Hams is one of the most persuasive and creative thinkers I know. His book is a specific guide you can (and should) implement now."

"Hams is masterful at outlining the engagement practices that inspire people to care and to be deeply vested in business results."
