Book Review: Living Above the Store: Building a Business That Creates Value, Inspires Change, and Restores Land and Community–How One Family Business Transformed Itself … Using Sustainable Management Practices: Martin Melaver, Ray Anderson: Books
Refreshing look at how to run an effective business without sacrificing core values and principles,
By Benjamin D. Sher -
While Living Above the Store pertains most particularly to builders and real-estate development businesses, it contains valuable strategies and lessons for creating a values-oriented business. If you are interested in creating a “flater” management structure in which all of your employees define and implement a vision for your business, Melaver describes a variety of techniques for doing so. I found the discussion of the “5 Whys” particularly intriguing as a method of getting to the root cause of a problem that usually forces oneself to admit one’s own initial mistake or careless error. This book offers an alternative to the usual “maximize shareholder value” goal of contemporary capitalism, suggesting that other values such as environmental quality and employee meaning and satisfaction can be added to create a better, more meaningful business that can not only remain profitable but grow in a more orderly, natural pace. It should be added to your shelf of classic revisionist business books along with Ray Anderson, Paul Hawken, and E.F. Schumacher.
