There's a "quiet revolution" happening in businesses of all sizes according to today's guests. Employees now realize they have a voice and aren't satisfied with "classic industrialized working environments." But what do employees want? A company that does good, according to Mark Babbitt and Chris Edmonds. They recently co-authored the book, "Good Comes First: How Today's Leaders Create an Uncompromising Company Culture that Doesn't Suck." Mark and Chris say company culture was mostly ignored by past generations, but it's important to millennials and Gen Z. If bosses don't create a culture employees value, younger workers will leave, and not think twice about it. They add, younger workers' behavior is making an impression with other workers, who are more willing to leave bad culture as well. So, how do you build a good culture? Chris and Mark have some ideas.

We've all heard the cliché that leaders are readers. This week's guest on “All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett” not only believes it, he wrote the book on it. Jeff Brown recently co-authored “Read to Lead,” which is something Brown still can't believe because he says, "school educated (reading) out of me." So, what changed? He began reading books on subjects he was interested in. Brown also said taking notes while reading helped him become a better writer.

He also offers many unique strategies to help you crack the books for the first time or help you get back into the habit and why you should let your teams catch you in the act (of reading).
