Leadership and Worker Ownership: A Conversation with John Abrams

Steve Dubb: What led you to write your new book—From Founder to Future: A Business Road Map to Impact, Longevity, and Employee Ownership—and what are you hoping readers will take from it?

John Abrams: I see this book as an antidote to the cruelty-rather-than-kindness mentality. I feel like our society has been bedeviled with that kind of thinking at different times, but better hearts and minds have always prevailed. That will happen this time. But it is a question about how long that takes, how much damage is done, and how much suffering happens.

What feels different to me right now is, for the last 50 years, the Democrats have not done much for working people and the Republicans have not done much for working people, and we need something fundamentally different. And that might end up being what history says: Something new was built. That’s my hope. If this book can play some modest role in that new building project, then it will have accomplished what I have set out to do.
