Textul de pe ultima copertă

Happy teams are more productive and managers should find joy at work, too!
"Jurgen′s book is practical and fun, but most of all, it′s subversive. If you care enough to get started, you′ll discover that these tools will transform everything about your organization."
Seth Godin, The Icarus Deception
Fact: Happy organizations are more productive and more innovative.
Is there something I can do to foster a better company culture? More productivity from my team? More innovation from management? And more happiness for everyone?
Managing for Happiness offers concrete games, tools, and practices for all workers. It addresses many common leadership questions, such as:

  • How can we measure performance?
  • How can we reward people in a better way?
  • How can we replace performance appraisals?
  • How can we motivate our teams?
  • How can we change the organization′s culture?

In modern organizations, people are expected to be servant leaders and systems thinkers, but nobody explains exactly how to do this. Managing for Happiness offers you serious games, innovative tools, and simple practices. You can use them immediately to motivate any team, change the culture, boost productivity, and nurture innovation across your company. Because management is too important to leave to the managers! Everyone deserves to work in a happier organization.
