Everybody Wins: The Story and Lessons Behind RE/MAX [Hardcover]

RE/MAX was founded over 30 years ago in Denver, Colorado, based upon a revolutionary idea for a new system of selling real estate. Since then, RE/MAX has experienced over 380 straight months of explosive growth. In Everybody Wins, authors Phil Harkins and Keith Hollihan reveal how RE/MAX has achieved such phenomenal success by examining the company's strategy, culture, and leadership. Harkins -- with the full cooperation of RE/MAX -- led a research team that closely studied RE/MAX as well as comparable fast-growing companies. The team observed critical meetings, attended conventions, dug through historical archives, and conducted extensive interviews with more than 50 key RE/MAX leaders. The outcome is an insightful and engaging account of one of the world's most successful companies. Order your copy today.

Everybody Wins is a detailed, compelling account of how RE/MAX grew into one of the largest real estate networks in the world. More than that, however, it provides firsthand lessons to leaders on how to drive growth in their own organizations.

Coauthors Phil Harkins and Keith Hollihan studied seven global companies and did a thorough case study of RE/MAX. They analyzed financial information of the companies and were given full, unrestricted access to RE/MAX files, information, and personnel. The result is a gripping, step-by-step inside story of one company's road to competitive mastery, with guidelines for emulating the positives while recognizing and sidestepping the roadblocks.

Valuable for all managing and leading organizations, Everybody Wins features:

• Guidance and ideas from colorful RE/MAX chairman and cofounder Dave Liniger, a high-impact leader cut from the same cloth as Sam Walton and Ray Kroc
• Hands-on techniques for leading an organization through tough times and actually moving ahead during low tide—when you can "see the rocks"
• Strategies for focusing all employees on a common goal, while still promoting and rewarding their entrepreneurial instincts
• A template for getting top-to-bottom employee involvement and developing a culture in which everyone both contributes ideas and carries the boxes
• Additional detailed case studies of six of today's top high-growth/high-impact companies—BMW, Canon, McDonald's, Nokia, Toyota, and Wal-Mart
