'A practical guide for leaders to stop using technology as a crutch
and start building genuine connections with their teams' - Adam
Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals Back to Human
explains how a more socially connected workforce creates greater
fulfillment, productivity, and engagement while preventing burnout
and turnover. New York Times bestselling author Dan Schawbel guides
the next generation of leaders to create a workplace where
teammates feel genuinely connected, engaged, and empowered to grow
strong interpersonal skills rather than relying on technology.
Based on Schawbel's exclusive research studies--featuring the
perspectives of over 2,000 managers and employees across different
age groups and from the US, UK, China, India, Brazil and other
countries - Back to Human reveals why electronic and virtual
communication, though vital and useful, actually contributes to a
stronger sense of isolation at work than ever before. The corporate
cultures we are experiencing right now need to change, and Schawbel
offers a new leadership model featuring The Work-Life Balance Myth
(we should consider work-life integration instead, which creates
more synergies between all areas of your life and puts you in
control of how you allocate your time), Shared Learning (how
sharing knowledge allows you to stay relevant despite industry
disruptions), and more. The book includes: -Interviews with 100
leaders from notable companies including Facebook, Honeywell, HBO,
Starbucks, General Mills, GE, Nike, American Express, Four Seasons,
Walmart, TIME, LinkedIn, and The U.S. Air Force. -A self-assessment
called "The Work Connectivity Index" that measures that strength of
team relationships. -Exercises, examples and activities that
readers can work on individually, or as a team, which will help
them improve their leadership skills. -Tips and strategies on how
to increase personal productivity, be more collaborative and become
more fulfilled at work.
