✨ 𝗖𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣 #𝟯 – Bob Chapman (Barry-Wehmiller) True leadership shines brightest during economic hardship. In 2008, when the financial crisis rocked industries worldwide, 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗳𝗳𝘀 as their first response. But Bob Chapman, CEO of Barry-Wehmiller, took a bold, different path. 🏭 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗳𝗳𝘀 Instead of cutting jobs, Bob Chapman introduced a 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹: ✅ Every employee from frontline workers to executives took 4 weeks of unpaid leave spread over the year. ✅ The approach was voluntary, and many employees even took extra unpaid leave to help protect their coworkers jobs. This radical act of solidarity kept the entire workforce employed. 🧭 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝗻-𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 Bob knew layoffs would damage the company’s culture, morale, and trust - assets just as important as financial ones. By involving everyone in the sacrifice, he: ✅ Fostered a deep sense of community and shared responsibility ✅ Showed that leadership was willing to share the pain equally ✅ Protected livelihoods without compromising the company’s long-term strength 📈 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: Barry-Wehmiller weathered the recession without a single layoff. The company: 🔹 Maintained employee loyalty and morale 🔹 Emerged stronger and more united 🔹 Became a globally recognized example of people-first leadership in action 🔄 If you believe leadership should be about shared responsibility and empathy, 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 and help spread the word! 👇 𝗧𝗮𝗴 a leader who embodies this people-first spirit. ✨ 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗲𝗱 for the next story in the #𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 series.
