Synopsis

We live in a new world where work and life are blended as opposed to balanced, and feelings of financial security and entitlement are a thing of the past. Job satisfaction is at a record low, a crisis with far-reaching impact. For businesses, a disengaged workforce means lower levels of productivity and service, and ultimately lower growth and profits. For individuals, our emotions at work spill over to the other areas of our lives and take a toll on our health and relationships.

In We, Rudy Karsan and Kevin Kruse dig deep to reveal the nature of work in the modern organization and share the secrets for achieving full engagement at work, based on findings from over ten million worker surveys in 150 countries and also on their own experiences leading fast-growth companies. They show the inevitable linkage between the success of the individual and the success of the organization, and how both must come together to succeed.

For managers and all professionals, We details the leadership behaviors that generate emotional buy-in and commitment from team members. Karsan and Kruse highlight the three factors that drive one's level of engagement the most:

—Growth: Team members feel they are growing in their careers and learning new things.

—Recognition: Team members feel that their ideas and accomplishments are appreciated.

—Trust: Team members trust senior leadership and feel confident about the future.

We is an indispensable guide packed with solid research, case studies from innovative companies, individual stories of personal growth and achievement, and actionable steps that will both enhance your own engagement at work and transform your approach to leadership.

Goodreads review by Giovanni on March 17, 2011

Do I have any employees no? The Scoop and The G-ZONE is a one man band. My wife and some of the kids kick in on occasion, but what you see is what you get with this. So what I am doing posting on not just a non-fiction book but one that has to do with employees? A guy can hope can’t he, besides that......more

Goodreads review by Thabile on August 04, 2013

It is nice to think that people are able to make work fun and engaging. Unfortunately the working-world is not that way. Nevertheless if more people believed in making their job an enjoyable part of their life more people would be happier. A comforting notion.......more
