Ari's new book, A Lapsed Anarchist's Approach to Building a Great Business, is the first volume in a new series, Zingerman's Guide to Good Leading, which aims to define a new kind of workplace in the 21st century. This book outlines 18 important ideas (or "secrets") which contribute to almost 30 years of success in business, including the power of a well-written and communicated organizational vision, the real purpose of a mission statement, and the benefits reaped from developing a culture of positive appreciation.
Included in A Lapsed Anarchist's Approach to Building a Great Business are essays explaining why treating individuals with respect and helping them to pursue their dreams and passions actively engages a successful team; how visioning, positive appreciation and sustainable profits give lead to success on the individual and organizational level; and how allowing every member of the team to participate in the process of making the crucial decisions that sustain the organization has been a cornerstone of Zingerman's approach for three decades.
With the lessons learned over years in business, A Lapsed Anarchist's Approach to Building a Great Business gives you the foundation to get started building something great of your own!
