Seventy percent of US workers hate their jobs and don’t want to show up on Monday morning. The majority of the nation’s workforce hates their job, cites Dudley Slater in his new book, Fusion Leadership . Employees find little value in their work and dread coming in on Monday. The author believes that some of the reasons for this phenomenon can be laid at the door of leaders: When their selfish actions diminish the effectiveness of their teams, they commit the ultimate failure in leadership. Slater combines the powerful stories of eight prominent leaders with the story of his own journey toward becoming the leader he is and aspires to be. Together, the wisdom and experience of Slater and the other leaders illuminate the goals of Fusion Leadership-to create a motivated workforce committed to its members and to ignite a common passion that provides individuals with self-fulfillment, and the organization with increased success. When leaders reward the collective ego over the selfish ego, their organizations not only make greater progress, but they fulfill the universal human desire to find meaning in work. ?When the author co-founded and was CEO of Integra Telecom, Inc., he attributed the company’s success to his employees, and he began to research leaders whose companies defied national norms and surveys. His research led to the creation of the concepts of Fusion Leadership. Slater generates hope and optimism that when leaders practice these concepts, they can start a movement that will extend well beyond their workplace to society as a whole.
