Most companies know they need a strong culture. Fewer know how to build one that actually holds.
In Tuesday in Trussville, Robert L. Mason tells the story of how an Alabama power conversion company grew into a formidable enterprise—and what it took, in human terms, to get there.
Through real stories from the manufacturing floor and executive office, Mason demonstrates how leadership accountability is more than a value plaque on a wall. His concept of “felt consequence” asks leaders to carry their decisions—not just make them.
This practical business memoir will show leaders how to grow without sacrificing the culture that made their team worth building in the first Strengthen workplace culture through consistent leadership accountability Build the kind of trust that outlasts any single manager or moment Make hard calls without losing the people who need to enact them Grow a small-town business without hollowing out what made it work Lead clearly when the pressure is real and the answers aren’t obvious Mason wrote this for the leader who already knows what's right—and wants the tools and conviction to actually do it.
I won this book through a Goodreads giveaway. The timing was impeccable. I worked for a large corporation that has forgotten the humanity of their workforce. What Robert Mason is trying to accomplish is refreshing. More companies need to remember compassion for their employees and happy employees are the soul of the company.
A powerful business memoir from an unlikely small town in Alabama. Compassionate leadership, love for your team, and culture that transcends a company. A vision for how business can transform lives and remain human in an ever disconnected world.
