The Scanlon Leadership Network is a nonprofit association of organizations founded in 1964 to encourage the sharing of best practices and the continued development of the Scanlon Principles and Processes. The Network has helped numerous organizations become "the best places to work" and "the most admired" organizations in their industries. Network members pioneered open-book management, employee involvement, gainsharing and servant leadership concepts in business and today many are leaders in developing "lean" practices. Several Business writers have called the Network "the best kept secret in American Business."
