Open-Book Management Harlingen TX

As varied as remodeling company owners are, they share several personality traits. Most are independent-minded and strong-willed, and they tend to keep their cards very close to their vests. But some are finding that open-book management has made their company more profitable and their employees more accountable.

As varied as remodeling company owners are, they share several personality traits. Most are independent-minded and strong-willed, and they tend to keep their cards very close to their vests. When it comes to management styles, “my way or the highway” is the prevailing theory.

So it comes as no surprise to learn that few management styles meet with the kind of gut-wrenching negative reaction reserved for open-book management. “I don't want anyone to know how much I make” is among the tamer of the typical responses from company owners who believe that what employees don't know won't hurt them.

Such fears are unfounded. Practicing open-book management doesn't obligate you to tell your employees how much money you make. Of the 10 open-book-company owners interviewed for this article, just 2 said they share information about their salaries with all of their employees.
