How Healthy Is Your Organization? - The Leader's Guide to Curing Corporate Diseases and Promoting Joyful Cultures (Hardcover)

In today's stressful work environment, organizations can be crippled not only by product failures or dramatic market shifts but by internal demons. Typical problems include distrust, lack of communication, territoriality, and other negative qualities that can fester below the surface and ultimately sap the organization's vitality. But according to these experts in organizational dynamics, it doesn't have to be that way. In truly strong organizations, employees experience joy in performing their tasks and give their utmost to add value and help achieve organizational goals. This provocative book shows how organizations can uncover negative influences in the corporate culture, root them out, and prosper with newly committed, energized employees. You will learn how to: *Understand the causes of negative behavior *Identify the symptoms of corporate "dis-ease" *Measure the impact of these symptoms *Treat problems *Create change--for the better. As the authors argue, sustainable profitability, over the long term, is a function of achieving a balance among financial objectives, customer demands, and employee needs. Through numerous examples, case studies, and diagnostic exercises, the authors show managers and employees, as well as students and researchers of organizational behavior, how to identify the sources of organizational disease and focus on promoting a positive, inclusive culture. The end result? Profitability, better employee retention, and a company that's fun to work for.
