What is going on in organizations that prevent us from working and being happy? Organizations have become battlefields in which there is survival only of the fittest. However, who stays voluntarily in war? Nobody wants to feel bad and work ten hours a day. This book should help organizations understand that a battlefield is not a working environment and shows how organizations can change their work culture from being competitive (often negative and almost destructive) into positive and pleasant places to work. This book also explains ways organizations can spot counterproductive patterns in management styles and employee interaction and support respectful and effective interpersonal interaction on all hierarchical levels. It takes into consideration the perspective of both, the employer and the employee. The reader will develop a new understanding about what is a positive and energizing work environment and how to create it skillfully and ethically in organizations. The book also discusses who are the most suitable candidates for leadership positions which might surprise any preexisting mindsets. There is plenty of practical advice about how leaders can create an energizing and healthy environment that will enable organizations not only to benefit from happy healthy employees but also to recognize, unleash, and promote hidden talents.
