Off-Centered Leadership: The Dogfish Head Guide to Motivation, Collaboration and Smart Growth

By Sam Calagione

Off-Centered Leadership considers an innovative approach to business by exploring what happens when companies stop competing and start collaborating. Brimming with lessons on entrepreneurship and culture from the founder of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, members of his leadership team, and external mentors from the worlds of business and art, this game-changing text turns competition on its head by showcasing how competing organizations can work together--and with other local businesses--to reach a common goal. The text dives into how Dogfish Head has blazed a new trail through the development of a revolutionary business model that has called upon musicians, community organizations, and even other breweries to keep product development fresh and create engaging customer experiences. This book documents and addresses the growing pains a company experiences as it evolves from the awkward early startup years into a mid-sized sustainable company with hundreds of coworkers. Calagione is candid in sharing his personal leadership challenges and success and calls on other seasoned vets inside and outside the company who inform and influence the journey of growth and creative expression Dogfish Head is on. This book is rich with practical information entrepreneurs and businesspeople can apply to their own professional journeys.
