Under his leadership, the company grew from $20 million in revenue to over $3.5 billion while pioneering "Truly Human Leadership"—refusing to lay off employees during the 2008 recession and instead implementing shared sacrifice that saved $20 million while protecting everyone's livelihood. Featured in a Harvard Business School case study taught at 70+ business schools worldwide, Chapman has addressed the United Nations, Congress, and leading academic institutions on human-centered leadership. His approach has been validated by research showing that workplace stress is the fifth leading cause of death in America, and that good bosses create more wellness than wellness programs do. • Book: Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family--Expanded 10th Anniversary Edition , with Raj Sisodia • Website: Barry-Wehmiller Outreach — RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE SHOW — • Study: “Truly Human Leadership at Barry-Wehmiller” by Dylan Minor and Jan Rivkin • Book: "The New One Minute Manager: A Timeless Guide to Effective Leadership, Stress Reduction, and Success in a Rapidly Changing Workplace" by Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson — THANK YOU SPONSORS! — • Keepsake Voices.
