What's Inside

## Eleven ideas that were already in the building

You'll find true, sourced stories from Amazon, McDonald's, Starbucks, Nike, Toyota, and Walmart. Each one starts with a person close to the work who noticed something leaders could not see, and a company that listened and acted on it.

Meet Tell Jules

## The fastest way to hear what every employee knows

Tell Jules hears what your people see every day and gets it to the leaders who can act.
