The Vested Way is not your average way of doing business, and newly re-released ebook The Vested Way is not your average “how to” guide. From a new take on the proverbial “blonde walks into a bar” setup, to Ronald Reagan’s favorite “where’s the pony?” punch line, to who really scaled Mt. Everest first, The Vested Way explores lofty academic research in a lighthearted way that’s easy to grasp. The book also explores each of the Five Rules of Vested and digs into why the Vested model works so well.   

While you’re nodding your head at the commonsense, “Golden Rule” lessons, you’ll also be learning how some big-name companies like McDonald’s, Procter & Gamble and Microsoft have taken Nobel Prize-winning academic concepts and applied them to real business situations to achieve extraordinary results. You’ll also discover how you can apply a “What’s in it for We?” mindset to your own business to create dynamic relationships and achieve success beyond anything you can envision.

About Vested

Vested® is a mindset, methodology, business model and movement for highly-collaborative, win-win relationships. Vested is based on award-winning research conducted by the University of Tennessee’s Center for Executive Education and funded by the U.S. Air Force. The UT researchers studied some of the world’s most successful business relationships—relationships based on true collaboration that achieved amazing, sometimes even considered impossible, results. They discovered that these highly successful relationships had a distinct mindset that promoted purposeful collaboration with the strategic intent to innovate, create value and mutually reward success. 

From this research, they created the Vested business model and its practitioner-friendly tools that enable companies and their suppliers to create successful, highly collaborative relationships of their own. Vested relationships spark innovation by enabling business partners to create value that didn’t exist before—for both parities
