Description
The startling truth is that 70% of the workforce is disengaged - their bodies may put in long hours, but their hearts and minds never punch in. Â You may even be one of those that's searching for ways to make work really work for you. Â This is a terrible dilemma for organizations trying to motivate employees to do more with less. So how to motivate the disengaged, and further engage the engaged? Â It's not pay, perks, or promotions. Â
The answer is to foster meaning at work, that is, give work a greater sense of personal significance, and thus, make work matter.Â
Â
Make It Matter is the antidote to crisis levels of disengagement and the first ever book that serves as a practical, yet inspiring How To guide for motivating by creating meaning - the motivational tour de force of our times. Distilling reams of research, case studies, stories, and interviews with managers at great companies to work for, the author unveils 7 essential Markers of Meaning that can be triggered to create meaning in and at work.  You'll get dozens of tools and learn about the power of:
*Direction - Reframe work to add meaning and motivation, and help people find a sense of significance and purpose in what they do
*Discovery - Craft the richest kind of opportunities to learn, grow, and influence, while helping people feel valued and valuable
*Devotion - Cultivate an authentic, caring culture, master meaning-making leadership behaviors, and drive out corrosive behaviors that can unknowingly drain meaning at work
Find out why the #1 bestselling author in the world (and ex CEO) James Patterson raves about Make It Matter and why Soundview BusinessBooks has named it a "Book to Watch" in 2015.
When people feel that they matter, they give their all. Channel that power and everyone profits.
