More Than a Company by Ron Scheese
LEAD FROM VALUES. Gallup surveys report that nearly 20 percent of US workers perform below their capabilities—resulting in approximately $300 billion of lost productivity and opportunity annually. Studies show that when people are intrinsically motivated and engaged in a healthy environment, innovation and productivity thrive—yet many business leaders stick with “command and control” organizational structures, using extrinsic reward frameworks that fail to inspire others. How can we do better? We believe the solution starts with values-based individuals dedicated to improving the lives of those they serve. Leaders with a core sense of purpose who draw others to that mission. Leaders who put people first. By rebuilding your business’s ecosystem around shared values—like the RICHIR values explored in this book (Respect, Integrity, Courage, Honesty, Initiative, and Responsibility)—you can create a working environment that will inspire your employees to reach their full potential and create the alignment necessary to build and sustain a high-performing culture that will jump-start growth and raise revenue.The preoccupation of any effective leader should be the establishment and development of an internal culture—one that is healthy and vibrantI’ve had the privilege of working with many of the most effective leaders in the world as a teacher and student of leadership. In my experience, there are few examples of effective leadership more compelling than the work of John Walker and Ron Scheese at Andesa. In More Than a Company, Ron offers real world insights and stories about the importance of values in driving the relationships which benefit the entire ecosystem. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in leadership. —Kevin Graham Ford, Chief Catalyst, Leighton Ford Ministries; Coauthor, The Secret Sauce: Creating a Winning Culture and The Leadership Triangle
Ron Scheese is exceptionally gifted both as a leader and as a human being. He has dealt with every situation imaginable with compassion, wisdom, and appropriate firmness. As CEO of Andesa Services, he is held by the Board, its employees, and its clients to the highest standards imaginable. The reader will profit very much from reading his story in this book. —John E. Walker, Founder, Andesa Services
Ron Scheese is the kind of leader who knows the difference between employee engagement and employee satisfaction and understands why the first is more important than the second. Read this book, and you’ll see how he was able to diagnose a critical problem Andesa faced in 2016 and launch a program that re-energized the entire company, leading to sharp increases in revenue, income, employee retention, and assessed value. We need more leaders like him. —Bo Burlingham, Author Small Giants; Coauthor, The Great Game of Business
This is not your typical “how-to” business book. Scheese shares his leadership journey at Andesa Services, an employee-owned company, and provides real world examples of how a values-driven company creates a powerful ecosystem of relationships among both employees and customers to build a successful, enduring business. —Wendy York, Dean, Wilbur O. and Ann Powers College of Business, Clemson University; Board member, Andesa Services
