Open Book Management: The Employee Perspective

Openness and transparency are values MANY of us espouse. But how open and honest are you really?

Does your crew understand budget hours vs. actual hours?

How about the projected gross profit on the project they just started?

How about last year's net profit?

In today’s episode, we’re talking to Creative Roots Landscaping founder Ryan Markewich along with three of his team members: Jacob Markewich, Rik Van Espen and Zac Neufeld.

They run their landscaping business, Creative Roots, completely open book. Every person on the team is taught and shown every metric the business tracks and knows how every dollar is made.

This conversation is all about the employee perspective on open book management. What it does for the culture they work in, their feelings about work and its effect on performance.
