Gratitude Communication at Work is about a simple act of
communication - expressing gratitude - that can go a long way to
making our work lives better. While gratitude communication can be
a byproduct of an already healthy organizational culture, it can
also be the way that we create that culture and alter our more
immediate work experience. The 100 in-depth interviews on which
this book is based show that gratitude communication offers the
promise of not only feeling better about ourselves and our
professional relationships, but that it also plays an essential
role in increasing internal organizational effectiveness and
facilitating client breakthroughs. Innovative and straightforward
research-based solutions give readers the power to put gratitude
communication to work in new ways so they can experience gains in
their own professional worlds. Gratitude Communication at Work is
the ideal book for courses in organizational communication and
culture, business/managerial communication, and corporate social
responsibility. The book is also a valuable resource for
professionals in leadership roles.
In Confronting the Storm, David passionately argues for a shift
from the predominant legacy thinking that struggles with our
greatest challenges to a regenerative and collaborative mindset
within leaders. Humanity is at a fork in the road so new, creative,
and urgent leadership is essential. For us all and future
generations to be able to thrive on Spaceship Earth, this book
makes for compelling reading." -David Houle, MD, The Sarasota
Institute and 5x TEDx speaker, US Traditional leadership wisdom is
buckling and failing. Leaders are not only grappling with the
pandemic, but a greater challenge awaits them - a storm of complex
social, environmental, and economic issues that is leaving
organizations extremely vulnerable. As daunting as it may feel,
there are substantial opportunities to thrive. David provocatively
argues that, to successfully deal with the storm, we must accept
that the leadership styles that have been celebrated for centuries
are now an obstacle to progress. He explores the storm-defying
alternatives: key skills and traits that are now crucial for
regenerating lives, livelihoods, and the planet, pointing the way
to a more collaborative, innovative, successful future for leaders
and organizations. This argument is amplified by some of the most
inspiring global leaders who are successfully confronting the storm
- including a former Prime Minister, former Foreign Minister, one
of Fortune magazines '50 Greatest Leaders', and more. What will
your legacy be?
