Description

An in-depth look at the life of Oakland, California native Barclay Simpson, Strong Ties focuses on the set of convictions and leadership qualities that allowed Simpson to build a successful business from nothing and to become one of the major philanthropists in the San Francisco Bay Area. Largely self-taught, he founded Simpson Manufacturing Co, Inc. along with its major subsidiary, Simpson Strong-Tie (SST), in 1956. Over the following decades, he grew the enterprise from a small, artisan business that fabricated metal connectors into a worldwide, publicly traded company, known throughout the construction industry as a manufacturer of over 4,000 distinct, highly engineered products for tying one structural element to another in residential and commercial projects.In building the company, he developed a set of company principles-revolutionary for their times-that placed employees at the center of his business. Central to these principles was a compensation system that included broad-based, quarterly profit-sharing along with employee development and education programs that promoted hiring from within the ranks of the company. This resulted in a high percentage of his employees pursuing life-long careers at the company, many of whom were able to go from hourly production line labor to management.As US companies increasingly grapple with their accountability to the communities that house them, Barclay Simpson's philosophy makes for a particularly unusual and relevant American business story. Equally pertinent in these volatile times is the story of how he successfully transferred his core business principles to his philanthropic work, providing major financial and in-kind support to a wide range of East Bay non-profit arts and education organizations, with a special focus on expanding access for under-resourced communities.A story of Barclay Simpson's leadership style as both a businessman and a philanthropist, Strong Ties chronicles the astounding continuity between his views on making money, and giving it away.
