What does it take to turn a money-losing hot dog cart into a global empire? Surprisingly, it starts with how you treat your employees.
Danny Meyer, the legendary restaurateur behind Shake Shack, Union Square Cafe, and Gramercy Tavern, has built an empire on a deceptively simple idea: take care of your people, and they'll take care of everyone else. In his new book, What Could Possibly Go Right?, he shares the philosophy that transformed his approach to business and leadership.
📚 Danny's new book is the current selection of The Next Big Idea Club. Join today and we'll send you a copy, along with Adam Grant's new book, Vibe, and invitations to private Q&As with both authors. Learn more at nextbigideaclub.com
