‘Having a vocation is like falling in love, and it works out,' says writer, anarchist, and philosopher, Paul Goodman. Ari Weinzweig holds the title of co-founder and CEO at Zingerman's, but he is also an anarchist and philosopher. During this episode, he joins us in conversation to tell his story and share the guiding principles behind his life philosophy and business journey. Tune in to hear him challenge perceptions about anarchism and synergy, positive belief in human beings, and what it means not to think hierarchically about your achievements. Making the distinction between data and culture, Ari unpacks his leadership style and why he believes that building culture is the true work of leadership. Going deeper, we discuss the relationship between belief, company health, and the imperfect art of working with people. We touch on the simple legacy Ari would like to leave behind, how he has managed to go off the grid with his business in order to live his values, and how Ari manages to truly be himself so much so that he is a rebel against expectation. Join us today to hear all this and more. Guest Bio: In 1982, Ari Weinzweig and Paul Saginaw founded Zingerman's Delicatessen in Ann Arbor, Michigan, using a $20,000 bank loan. Weinzweig, equipped with a Russian History degree and four years of kitchen experience, opened the deli with two employees and a small range of specialty foods and sandwiches. Today, Zingerman's has evolved into a nationally recognized food brand, expanding into the Zingerman's Community of Businesses, which includes 11 distinct entities such as Zingerman's Bakehouse and ZingTrain, employing over 750 people and generating more than $65 million in annual revenue. Each business operates uniquely, but they all adhere to a shared Vision and Guiding Principles, collectively delivering “The Zingerman's Experience” with passion and commitment. Key Points From This Episode: [02:25] Ari Weinzweig, co-founder and CEO of Zingerman's and his journey to success.[12:29] How his choice of major, Russian history, illustrates an important principle.[13:54] The story of Zingerman's as told by the 12 Natural Laws of Business.[20:05] Moving forward and prioritizing growth whilst staying true to their original vision.[23:13] How he has trained himself not to think hierarchically about his success.[26:30] The evolution of his leadership style and relationship to anarchism and synergy.[31:37] A description of the legacy he would like to leave behind.[38:26] Why he believes that building culture is the true work of leadership.[44:56] What motivated Ari to go off the grid with his business endeavors and book publishing.[49:31] An overview of this episode and how Ari lives his business values. Quotes: “Do what you want, not what everybody else wants you to do.” — Ari Weinzweig [0:12:51] “I've tried to train myself to appreciate the little things because that's really all there is.” — Ari Weinzweig [0:23:24] “[Anarchism] is really about a way of being in the world, not about taking power.” — Ari Weinzweig [0:29:33] “The thing about dignity is, it's all free, and we don't need permission, and we don't need anyone else to do it, we can just do it.” — Ari Weinzweig [0:31:20] “All day long, we're all contributing positively and negatively to the culture and none of us get it right all the time.” — Ari Weinzweig [0:38:59]RESOURCES: [04:46] Read poetry by David Whyte.[06:26] Learn more about anarchist and philosopher Paul Goodman.[14:15] Unpack Zingerman's 12 Natural Laws of Business.[21:12] Find out about the work of Ruth Benedict. [26:59] Explore Stephen Covey, Peter Drucker, Max De Pree, Robert Greenleaf, and Margaret Wheatley. [26:59] Read Ari's essay, Jewish Rye Bread. [29:41] Immerse yourself in the work of Howard Ehrlich.[46:22] Unveil Ari's thoughts on Dignity and Working Through Hard Times.   FOLLOW:Follow Laura Eich:LinkedInFacebookInstagram Follow Mike McFall:WebsiteLinkedInFacebookXInstagram Follow BIGGBY® COFFEE & LifeLabTM:WebsiteFacebookXInstagramLinkedInAbout LifeLabTM ABOUT LOVE IN LEADERSHIP:At the Life You Love LaboratoryTM and BIGGBY® COFFEE, we're out to prove that financial success and healthy workplace culture aren't two separate goals.

Sorry for not releasing an episode last week! No excuses, except that life as a new Activities Director at a high school got in the way. But I'm back this week with an outstanding quote from one of the founders of the concept of Servant Leadership - Max De Pree. There is a lot packed into this quote... so much so that I know you're going to love this one!For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

Decades ago, Max De Pree the former CEO of Herman Miller, walked in on a conversation his employees were having about the size of De Pree's pay. They challenged him about the huge disparity between his compensation and the average worker at Herman Miller. From that discussion Max's established a policy that the CEO ... The post Pay Inequities appeared first on Unconventional Business Network.

The Christian businessman and author Max De Pree wrote, "The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality." Jesus, the ultimate leader, is the author and perfecter of our faith. This means that Jesus is the leader who defines the fulness of reality. As we bid farewell  to 2023 and look forward to 2024, the key word as a church family is hope. Because Jesus is King, our reality is one of hope. Luke 7 captures an amazing interaction between Jesus and people who were once hopeless. Let this story bring hope into the dark places of your life.

Chris Grant OBE has worked at the most senior levels across sectors including Chair of the Chip & Pin Programme for all the banks and retailers, he served on the Board of Sport England and currently as The Chair for British Basketball Federation . Chris received his OBE for services to Sport from the late Her Majesty in 2021 and has worked with great musicians, business leaders, athletes, and sports teams. Chris is the ultimate observer of human beings and group dynamics and has always found solace and safety at the front of the room as opposed to staying in the background. Chris's personal leadership enigma is how he considers life and embraces the unknown by pushing his own capabilities and increase his own self-awareness. We are all the product of our parents and Chris recounts how his father served in the Second World War and was part of the Windrush generation where he dealt with overt racism and systemic bias. Chris was able to leverage his ‘heritage' (pride) and ‘baggage' (obstacles) to craft his own path by understanding that he had an ability to arbiter, facilitate and bring people together.  Chris shares the deeply personal story of how he was diagnosed with prostate cancer a year ago and how the experience changed and shaped his outlook on life with an increased sense of mystery about himself with the realisation that you are never really in control. The devastating news challenged his personal belief systems and biases and modified his thinking to make room for new a new reality and let go of some lifelong assumptions. As Chris tells me, ‘we are all dying', therefore we need to make the most of the time we have and to lead a life of service. All leaders must ask themselves, ‘what's the shape of the hole you are leaving behind us and what's the space you are creating for others to perform?' Chris also sought strength from the advice of Max De Pree in that, the ‘first responsibility of the leader is to define reality and the last is to say thank you' Chris is thankfully on his way to full recovery This episode is packed full of learning nuggets and reflections from an experienced yet deeply humble leader. I also ask Chris a question at the end of the show that I have never asked a guest before, the answer is the reason I continue this work…thank you Chris. Check out the YouTube Channel to see all the photos referred to in this episode: https://www.youtube.com/@theleadersenigma/videos

Introduction: This is a thanksgiving season at Cross-Way Church. Each year we focus on different aspect and angles of Christian life with regards to our call to grateful lives. Sacrifices are plenty in the OT. The question is, what do they mean? And what do they point to- because blood of animals or offer of grains are not in itself what God wanted. OT Sacrificial system bore heavy weights in life and society (personal, communal, economic). Notice how often they were required and how detailed the rituals were, which points to the significance for what they meant. Studying them, these were some of the reasons, as to WHY sacrifice offerings were required: A) Acknowledging and honoring God's presence (Character of Holiness). B) Remembering Covenant Commitments. C) Symbolize Atonement (sacrifices for reconciling) appropriate to the sin/guilt. D) Value ascribed by voluntarily (freely) and willingly giving. They were never enough (elements, rituals) but were symbols = showing (alluding to) the essence and understanding of greater things God desired and meaning of life. Even though we are not required to bring sacrifice or material offerings today, the meanings behind those sacrifice rituals shows what was/is in God's heart, which has not changed, because God has not changed. But, what does our lives show to/about God from what/how we give. Are our offerings worthy (show value & meaning) of God we worship? What are we giving? How are we giving? What does that mean? Are we giving less than our best? The Need: Too often our lives, in the midst of modern progressive lifestyle, namely of fast-pace globalized world connected with internet at our finger tips, literally with smart phones and access of information from across the world, have made us busy and pre-occupied and selfish. Consumer driven lifestyle, ironically, has left us empty. To experience what the world has in offer you must make money to have access. Go make money, by all means possible, get jobs, education, access (visa), preoccupies our lives. This is an age of instant gratification, our culture have lost (or forgotten) the secret and art of gratefulness. We must look to the root and sources from where our blessings come and learn to say Thank You.“The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality, and the last is to say ‘thank you'.” Max De Pree.Goal: We will learn the arts and motif of grateful response to God.We will understand (re-focus) what makes up the foundations of Christian life, (namely God has graciously not only created the world and everything in it, provided all things necessary to sustain our lives [vegetables that grow, parents who birthed and raised us, or not; oxygen we breath] Jesus Christ who has given us eternal life and hope to live now) accomplished our salvation. So, we will become grateful people with our hearts and actions.

Become an Artful Leader and Lead Your Employees and Company to Success Also known as the bible for the business world, Leadership is an Art explores how executives and managers can learn leadership skills that will build a better, more successful organization. You see, author Max De Pree doesn’t just discuss leadership as a hierarchy where those at the top intimidate those at the bottom to get things done. Instead, he views leadership as stewardship and focuses on the importance of building relationships and creating a lasting value system within an organization. An artful leader must be one that can enable others to reach their full potential and must take a role in developing, expressing, and defending the company’s values. Good leadership is more than just leading a company to financial success, it's more about fostering relationships across all areas within an organization. As you read, you’ll learn how to build meaningful relationships, how to motivate employees, and how to become an elegant leader. Do you want more free book summaries like this?

Herman Miller was founded by D. J. De Pree in 1923 and is one of the most profitable in the Fortune 500. While it’s #456 in revenue, it’s #7 in profit. Isn’t that incredible? This is because revenue never equals profit. Revenue is top-line, and profit is bottom-line. Are you wondering how to get more profit, and why Herman Miller has been so profitable relative to its revenue? The answer is leadership, specifically servant leadership. At Herman Miller, the concept is that leaders don’t inflict pain. Instead, leaders bear pain. In other words, leaders aren’t command and control, they’re engage and enroll. Another reason I love using Herman Miller as an example is that Max De Pree, one of my mentors, taught me the three responsibilities of a leader. Let’s shift gears for a moment and talk about agreements, their three functions, and the three ways to handle them. The functions of an agreement are who’s in charge, what’s getting done, and when is it due (or who, what, and when). The first way to handle an agreement is to keep it. The second way to handle an agreement is renegotiate the agreement. The third way to handle an agreement is to un-make it. You may be surprised to learn that Max De Pree, former CEO of Herman Miller, didn’t make agreements with his team members. Instead, he made something even more powerful: he made covenants. Tune into this powerful episode to learn more about agreements and covenants, what the nine reasons are that a leader should weep, what the Mona Lisa’s value can teach you about leadership, and much more.   In This Episode: [03:01] - Alex introduces today’s three key insights, which he’ll explore throughout the rest of the episode. [04:04] - We hear about Herman Miller, the iconic furniture company. [04:55] - Alex returns to the concept of servant leadership, which he talked about in a previous episode. [05:56] - Let’s talk about agreements. You’ve probably thought about these, but have you clearly defined their three elements? [08:44] - Alex learned all of this about agreements from his mentor David Allen, he explains. [09:31] - We learn that Max De Pree didn’t make agreements with his team members. [11:30] - Why is the original of something, whether it’s a painting or an incredibly well-made designer chair, so much more valuable than a knockoff or a copy? [13:32] - Alex explains what his explanation about the value of something means for you as a leader. [14:02] - The Alexism for today’s episode is this: the most terrifying feeling an entrepreneur can have is thinking about fulfilling their default future. [15:02] - Alex explores the nine reasons why leaders should weep, including lacking dignity, unexpected gifts, and confusing pleasure with meaning. [22:55] - There are three responsibilities for any leader. First, to define reality. Second, to protect confidences. Finally, communicate compassionately. [24:10] - Alex digs into the word “compassion,” and the three words it contains: “compass,” which means direction, “passion,” which means having heart, and “ion,” which is the smallest source of an element. [25:21] - Leadership is an art, Alex explains, as part of his review/recap of the points he’s covered in this episode. [26:26] - Did this episode help you out, or teach you something meaningful? If so, it would mean a lot if you’d take just a moment to go to this link and write down your biggest takeaway from this episode as a review.

Students, educators, and businesspeople from all avenues of the marketplace converged on Travis Auditorium Monday, February 8, for a lecture featuring Robert W. Lane, chairman of the board of agricultural manufacturing corporation Deere and Company. Mr. Lane spoke on “Human Flourishing: Theological Reflections on the High Calling of Business Leadership” as part of the Max and Esther De Pree Presidential Leadership Lecture series. Lane reflected on his own theology of leadership over the span of his career with John Deere, while emphasizing that his role as a business leader in a capitalist economic system requires the ability to see Kingdom potential in the marketplace. The lecture was followed by a question-and-answer session with the audience. Lane shared the ways in which he was privileged to be like Timothy, having parents and grandparents who followed the Lord in faith and in study and understanding of the Scriptures. “These words become fresh every day, and it’s this freshness that I sought to bring into my workplace,” he said. Lane was strongly influenced in his own leadership development by his days as a student at Wheaton College and by two pastoral mentors, Anglican rector John Stott and Wheaton College philosophy professor Arthur Holmes. Lane shared that the changes he has brought about as chairman of Deere and Company are focused around four themes: high aspirations, seeking to create not just “good products” but a “great business”; gritty ethics, teaching everyone in the company that John Deere will strive to do business in the most transparent way possible; uncommon teamwork, embracing diversity so that every employee in every plant worldwide is uncommonly aligned to a common mission; and integrated metrics, making global processes more unified, clear, and measurable. While he demonstrated the importance of thinking innovatively and communicating clear values in order to bring about lasting positive change within a corporation, Lane pointed out that what his company does is also important for generations to come. When employees see their everyday work not just as assembling a tractor, but as building a lasting business that serves to feed coming generations, their work affirms the goodness in the world God has created. As Lane learned from his mentors, “God loves matter; he made it.” We must therefore seek an integrated worldview, that through us and our work, as through Abraham’s faith, all the families of the earth might be blessed. He compared the Christian mission in the world to “the kind of work that is not seen, but comes through in someone in the far reaches of Kazakhstan receiving a really good product with which to seed their land.” This concern for the common good has influenced Lane’s commitment to a model of leadership that has human flourishing as its core purpose. Robert Lane, who joined John Deere in 1982, has served as chairman of the board since 2000 and was also chief executive officer for nine years. The Presidential Leadership Lecture series is named for Max and Esther De Pree, longtime partners of Fuller. Max De Pree, known for his leadership wisdom, served for 40 years on Fuller’s Board of Trustees. In 1996 the Max De Pree Center for Leadership was established at Fuller to promote De Pree’s understanding of leadership and to extend his legacy.
