I've been waiting two decades for this book, and it was worth it.\"--Adam Grant, #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eHidden Potential\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThink Again\u003c\/i\u003e and host of the podcast \u003ci\u003eRe: Thinking\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 2006, Danny Meyer owned eleven restaurants, was nurturing a single parkside burger kiosk called Shake Shack, and had just written a bestselling book, \u003ci\u003eSetting the Table\u003c\/i\u003e, about his company's unique culture of Enlightened Hospitality. On the first page of that book, Danny proudly declared that in twenty-five years he had never closed a restaurant. But just a few years later, he shuttered his beloved Tabla, a decision that filled him with shame--but sparked a reckoning within him about what it means to be a leader. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDanny realized that his fear of failure wasn't just misguided: it was also an impediment to his innate entrepreneurial spirit. In\u003ci\u003e What Could Possibly Go Right?\u003c\/i\u003e, he takes the reader along on his journey to learn how he's delivered a winning culture of excellence at scale. Businesses and organizations have long understood how to scale systems of production. But it's a much trickier challenge to scale uplifting human relationships, particularly in a fluid, growing organization--one that has now spawned 700 businesses spread across twenty-four countries. As Danny writes, \"Along the way, I've tripped and scraped my knee more times than I can count, and yet the general trajectory has been upward and to the right.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat Could Possibly Go Right?\u003c\/i\u003e offers fascinating, lively stories from the last twenty years of Danny's career, along with plenty of his trademark mantras (D.F.S--Don't F'ing Settle; Change Your Grip; and Think Like a Winemaker) and leadership concepts (the Hospitality Quotient; the Rule of Two; and the Four Gears of Leadership). Together, they offer an insightful, practical, and transformative roadmap for success, yes, but more important: for making things that \u003ci\u003ematter and endure\u003c\/i\u003e. Danny believes that culture is an aspiration, not a destination. When you get your culture on the right path in any field, your missteps end up mattering far less than the innumerable lives you'll have changed for the better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Large Print Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798217509379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Danny Meyer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52934077251765,"sku":"9798217509379","price":28.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/what-could-possibly-go-right-the-essential-journey-to-scale-an-enduring-culture-9798217509379","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
