Power Play: Taming the Work Circus: From the Inside Out

This is the essential manual for leaders at all levels who want to maximize their human capital by taming the work circus that comes from - and feeds - stress, drama, and isolation. It’s tough out there. When we aren’t at the office, we’re still glued to our mobile devices, ready to pounce on the next email, update, text, or phone call. We are feeling burned out, exhausted, and unappreciated. Work has become a circus, with the vast majority of people feeling overwhelmed, distrusting, and disconnected which has a direct effect on the bottom line. Some have given up hope that it’ll ever be different, pacing behind bars, failing to recognize that they are holding the key. Instead of being in charge of our destiny, we are taking a backseat and watching as the world takes over. This is devastating news for executives trying to reap the most from their human capital.Wake up and smell the manure, people! The circus you’re in can be tamed, but you’ve got to take hold of your chair (and sometimes your whip) to master your part then move on to the rest of the big top. This book gets you to do just that. It tackles empowerment and engagement so they aren’t just buzzwords in your human resource plan.
