Create Amazing: Turning Your Employees into Owners for Explosive Growth

Create Amazing is a practical guide for business owners considering an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) or converting their company to employee ownership. The book explores how employee ownership can drive company performance and financial returns for workers and owners alike. The United States has over 10 million employee owners today. Research shows that employees with a stake in their company's success are more likely to remain with the firm, demonstrate greater loyalty and pride, work harder, and contribute improvement suggestions. The book traces the history of employee ownership in America and explains why it functions as both a fiscal and future-oriented solution. Greg Graves, a CEO who operated one of the most successful ESO Ps in American history, provides an executive perspective on how ESO Ps work, their legal and financial structure, and their impact on both companies and individual employees. The book addresses the mechanics of ESOP creation and transition, potential problems and how to avoid them, and the practical outcomes of employee ownership. Create Amazing argues that employee ownership, implemented correctly, fosters an ownership mindset among employees and can serve as a catalyst for economic prosperity and corporate longevity.
