Dennis Bakke
The Decision Maker
Unlock the Potential of Everyone in Your Organization, One Decision at a Time
Pear Press, 2013
Aperçu
Executives are usually farthest from the action. Why, then, do they get to make all the decisions?
Recommendation
Entrepreneur Dennis Bakke co-founded the energy giant AES, where he prioritized corporate responsibility and a deep concern for workers. Then he co-founded Imagine Schools, a nonprofit charter school network dedicated to applying the best learning models to each student’s unique needs. Here, Bakke explains that all employees have the ability to make important work decisions, and he champions the idea that companies should empower their staff members. Through the device of a modern-day corporate fable, Bakke explicates a philosophy that celebrates the intrinsic worth of every individual. While this, like most business fables, requires some suspension of disbelief, getAbstract recommends it as an inspiring story of how to open up the decision-making process in your organization. Bakke explains why letting your employees decide is both smart business and the right thing to do.
