The Hidden Profit Center

Hidden Profit CenterWhat is The Hidden Profit Center? This book won't answer that question in one sentence, or even one paragraph. Instead, it tells a whimsical story that draws you in so easily and in such an intriguing way that you can't help reading on to find out what happens. And in the process, the answer to the question unfolds.

I'm not going to give away the plot here, but I will tell you that as you read "The Hidden Profit Center" you'll relate to many of the situations because they happen every day in most organizations in today's workplace. Whether you work in North America, Europe, Australia or Asia, you'll encounter the same challenges you read about in the pages of this little book!

"The Hidden Profit Center" tells the story of Richard Pemberton, CEO of a company that's in trouble. A couple of unlikely teachers take just a week to show him how the company is losing money through lost time, lost business and lost people. Here are some of the people you'll meet and what you'll learn about them:

  • How Dave's Monday meeting turned into a weekly nightmare that cost the company megabucks
  • How Bill blew his big chance for a multi-million-dollar contract
  • How John mistook his cold, impersonal form letter for customer service—and lost a lucrative service contract as a result
  • How everyone's poor e-mail habits cost the company a million dollars a year
  • How Marcia's routine memo cost $332.50
  • How Bob, Barb, Don and Michael threw away a networking opportunity—and two huge new customers
  • How Paula couldn't get along with Cyril, and Hannah and Jennifer were always arguing—and a bunch of good employees almost quit
  • How Marius felt undervalued even though the President really thought the world of him

If you work with other people, you KNOW Dave and John and Marcia and the others. Perhaps you MANAGE them. Perhaps you ARE one of them. But one thing is certain—once you finally see the underlying problem you'll be amazed you never realized it before. You'll be eager to follow the simple plan at the end of the book to put it right.

And here's the most exciting news. When you find The Hidden Profit Center in your own organization, when you learn to exploit it, you will not only save the organization's money but you will also make it a more harmonious, positive, pleasant place to work. That helps keep good people on the payroll—which in turn saves even more money. It's a win-win-win-and-keep-on-winning proposition!

"The insights you will get from The Hidden Profit Center could really make a difference not only in your bottom line but also in the lives of the people who work with you."—Ken Blanchard, co-author, The One Minute Manager® and Whale Done!(™)
