Hi, I am Tom Walter, CEO of Tasty Catering, a multi-million dollar company in the Chicago area. One of the reasons I became part of the Academy and the Entrepreneur Division was to learn from you and your cutting edge research and to share my experiences as a businessman. I would have regretted not sharing the fascinating stories we learn as we did some research on eight award-winning companies. These organization all achieved, and then sustained, high-performance and employee engagement. You can find our findings in a NEW BOOK titled It's My Company Too! How Entangled Companies Move Beyond Employee Engagement for Remarkable Results, by Kenneth Thompson, Ray Benedetto, Thomas Walter and Molly Meyer. It's My Company Too! was written to bring entrepreneurial students eight case studies describing how real companies, large and small, and their leaders built company cultures so involved that employee engagement has sprung off the charts, reaching a new level of engagement described as "entanglement." Each chapter deep dives into an organization, offering the perspectives from both academics and businesspeople, like myself-serial entrepreneur and Entrepreneurial Hall of Fame Inductee-in an intriguing novel form. It's the perfect supplement to any entrepreneurial studies or related course as chapters can be addressed independently or as a whole. Email me, tom@tastycatering.com for a desk copy and Instructor's Guide with PowerPoint slides. The book is published by Greenleaf, 2013, 270pp and is priced well for a second course text and is available in hardcover or eBook.
