Author Information

Daniel J. Batty - Author, Builder, and Culture ArchitectDaniel J. Batty is a developer and culture-driven leader whose career bridges construction, creativity, and compassion. He is the author of No EGO Policy: Culture Reimagined - Leading with Love & Authenticity, a transformative guide to leadership that blends real-world business lessons with the timeless power of empathy and purpose to create a culture of success.A lifelong builder at heart, Daniel's journey began on job sites alongside his father, where he learned that integrity and hard work are the true foundations of success. That early influence shaped a career spanning more than two decades across design, construction, and operations leadership. He has held executive roles with some of the nation's most recognizable brands, including McDonald's, Carl's Jr./Hardee's, Dunkin', and Dutch Bros Coffee-where his leadership helped scale development across fast-growth corporate and franchise systems.In tandem with his business accomplishments, Daniel has long invested in community, storytelling, and authorship. In January 1999, he received a Resolution for Outstanding Community Service from the California State Legislature and a Recognition of Community Leadership Activities from the County of Orange. Earlier, from 1998-99, he served as Contributing Editor for Even Par Magazine, and from 1997-2006 he was a Contributing Writer for the San Clemente Journal. In 1996, he acted as Technical Advisor for the educational video Recycling Made Easy, and his bylines have appeared in local publications such as the Capistrano Valley News, under the column Let's Talk Trash. He was also a Contributing Author for The Question Book (Bobb Biehl, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1993); and most recently contributed to The Author's Playbook by Ray Brehm (2024), available on Amazon and Goodreads.Daniel's leadership philosophy-rooted in his ""No EGO Policy"" and ""Fair, Firm & Friendly"" mantras-emphasizes that culture is not a department, but a daily decision. His writing reflects this belief, drawing from personal experience, faith, and lessons of both triumph and tragedy. The story of his father's passing, a deeply formative event, anchors his message that love and authenticity are the most enduring leadership tools.Outside the boardroom, Daniel is a dedicated storyteller and community advocate. He supports organizations such as Surfers Healing, a nonprofit surf-therapy initiative for children with autism, and he currently has additional books in development.A native of Southern California, Daniel travels frequently and spends time across the western United States, yet San Clemente, California, will always be home-where he still catches waves whenever he can. When he's not writing or building, you'll find him mentoring emerging leaders, exploring land-development projects, or simply enjoying time with family.To learn more about Daniel's work, upcoming books, or speaking engagements, visit noegopolicy.com or connect with him on LinkedIn.c
