From the Publisher
Three Decades of Learning and Leadership
During his 30-year run in the corporate world, McDowell led tens of thousands of employees around the globe. In spite of what he would describe as a dream career, he gave up the fancy titles and corner office with one goal in mind: crush the deep-rooted dysfunctions so many organizations passively accept.
McDowell’s leadership legacy was born from delivering superior results, empowering leaders, and driving massive cultural transformations. His Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller, Begin With WE, exposes the root causes of business and team dysfunction, offering a remedy through The 10 WEs framework. Rather than outsourcing solutions or ignoring cultural challenges, McDowell elevates leaders and sparks massive change within organizations by adopting a mindset that prioritizes “WE” over “I,” “you,” or “me.”
10 Principles for Building and Sustaining a Culture of Excellence
Why WE?
The 10 WEs enable a transition from apathy, to open-mindedness, to absolute conviction. Teammates become less focused on their individual success and instead begin to genuinely care about their impact on, and the success of, their teams and peers. There is no substitution for conspicuously stating and then aligning on the principles that fuel the organization.

In both business and sports, exceptional results are only delivered via exceptional teams. Begin With WE cracks the code for leaders to deliver both. Kyle’s guiding principles apply from the ballpark to the office park.
This book is for anyone who recognizes the cultural affliction plaguing the workplace and wants to be the cure. But it’s not for the timid. It’s for those who want to foster an environment of collaboration, care, and creativity. It’s for leaders who want to inspire others and have an impact beyond their tenure, because a Culture of Excellence creates a ripple effect stretching beyond any one leader. And finally, this book is for those who believe leaders have the power to change lives.
This prescription is meant to heal on a deep level—a human level.
