Imagine a world where Mondays bring excitement rather than dread. Where leaders measure success by lives touched, not just profit margins. This isn't fantasy but reality at Barry-Wehmiller, a global manufacturing company transformed under Bob Chapman's leadership. "Everybody Matters" has become a leadership bible for organizations seeking to balance profitability with humanity. In a business landscape obsessed with quarterly results, Chapman's approach offers a refreshing alternative: building a 100-year company through genuinely human leadership. The results speak volumes - not just in employee satisfaction but in extraordinary financial performance. When Chapman inherited Barry-Wehmiller after his father's sudden death in 1975, he found a struggling company with negative operating income and millions in debt. His initial approach was textbook MBA: cut costs ruthlessly and view people primarily as functions. Despite $22 million in debt at 22% interest, Chapman maintained a bold vision. When his finance team protested they couldn't afford acquisitions, he famously replied, "Don't tell me what we can't do." His persistence paid off when their English subsidiaries successfully floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1987, bringing in $28 million. The turning point came in 1997 after acquiring three businesses from Bemis Company. At a South Carolina facility, Chapman noticed employees animatedly discussing March Madness basketball, but watched their enthusiasm drain as work approached. "Why can't work be fun?" he wondered. This observation led him to spontaneously create a sales game with the customer service team - transforming a dispirited group into an engaged force that increased sales by 20%.
