Get Jeff Dudan's book FOR FREE! Most businesses don’t have a people problem — they have a clarity problem. In this episode, Jeff Dudan sits down with Steve Baker (VP, The Great Game of Business | co-author of Get in the Game and the 20th Anniversary edition of The Great Game of Business) to break down why “open-book management” isn’t about spreadsheets… it’s about building ownership, accountability, and a winning culture. ✅ What you’ll learn: Why leaders hide financials (and why it backfires) The real goal of open-book management: education + transparency How to get employees to think like owners without “boss energy” Why forecasting beats quotas (and kills sandbagging) Mini-games: the 90-day system to drive results and engagement How this applies to franchisees, franchisors, and operators 📉 Reality check: Steve shares that the median net profit for many small-to-mid sized businesses is about 6.5 cents on the dollar — and most teams have no idea. When people understand the game, they make better decisions.  Get Jeff Dudan's book FOR FREE!
