Synopsis

Is your office a place of soul-destroying negativity? Shola Richards—keynote speaker, award winner, and creator of The Positivity Solution blog—is about to change that . . . forever.

“My mission was clear: I needed to fix the problems facing the workplace. As quickly as I came up with my new mission, I came up with the solution:

We need to treat each other better. Period.”

Shola Richards had reached the end of the road: after nearly two years at a soul-sucking job, he felt numb and suicidal. So he quit and devoted himself to nothing less than transforming the workplace, turning it into a space of respect, courtesy, and endless energy. Making Work Work focuses on inspiring current and future leaders to start a movement that will banish on-the-job bullying, put meaning back into work, and enhance coworkers’ happiness and engagement. Richards, whose popular blog has a worldwide following, explains why inaction is insane, why we must move forward with positivity, and why the “abc” employees (asshats, bullies, and complainers) are so destructive. This motivational guide will stay in listeners’ hearts and minds long after they finish listening to it.

Richards calls for a radical rethinking of work, with an aim towards ending toxic workplace cultures and......more

Goodreads review by Kathy

I was first introduced to Shola through his Monday morning emails. I look forward to his weekly gems. I am not sure what I was expecting from this book, but an introduction into the darkness of suicidal ideation from a horrible work environment was not it. Thankfully, Shola ugly cried past those fee......more
