Ambrose Co-CEO & Co-Founder Greg Slamowitz published his book Flip the Pyramid: How Any Organization Can Create a Workforce that is Engaged, Aligned, Empowered and On Fire in Spring of 2013.

New York, NY, April 22, 2013 - Micromanagement is a killer. Surveys indicate that 79% of workers believe that they have been micromanaged, with 71% reporting that it has interfered with their ability to perform their job. More troubling is the fallout micromanagement causes; preventing most organizations from attaining optimal success, and in many cases, preventing them from attaining any success at all.

Based on his 16 years in business, Ambrose Co-CEO Greg Slamowitz aims to educate small businesses, helping them to replace micromanagement with practical techniques through which small businesses can get the best out of their employees and employees can simultaneously thrive. Over the last several years, Greg shared those ideas and techniques in seminars and on his blog, along with a variety of stories from his past experiences as Co-CEO of Ambrose.

In 2012, Greg worked closely with an editor to develop a complete book offering guidance on how leaders and managers can supercharge their organization’s efficiency by creating a tribal culture that not only engages, aligns, and effectively channels the talents of every employee, but ultimately transcends the company itself to fully encompass and synergize with its customers.

Building on core values, Slamowitz teaches companies how to flip the organizational pyramid on its head by establishing a Constitutional Framework (CF), a disciplined meeting rhythm, and metric literacy. The goal is an intense, vibrant, and positive organizational culture, fueling growth and success.

“This is a practical how-to book on getting the best from your team written by someone who has been there and done it,” wrote Verne Harnish, author of Mastering the Rockefeller Habits and The Greatest Business Decisions of All Time.

“Flip the Pyramid zooms in on the core tasks for any organization that wants to endure: To identify the core values that guide decision-making, and to develop the discipline and teamwork necessary to live out those values hour by hour, day to day, and year by year. The principles behind this book set a high standard. The advice and examples in it tell you how to reach that standard,” said Daniel Pink, bestselling author of Drive and To Sell Is Human.

Flip the Pyramid is now available in hardcover and electronic formats at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and on iTunes.
