Ringkasan
To me, this 184-pages book is a must-read for today’s workforce. It gives me a depth understanding of how organizations should create cultures that provide a sense of belonging, a feeling of trust, caring and shared celebration. The book provides guidelines to build an employee-engaged, high performance, community-based culture – a place where people want to work. It addresses the changed nature of work, what constitutes meaningful work, and explores the three key elements of meaningful work; the self, the work and a sense of life balance and integration. I found this book practical and insightful which the author successfully did a great job of reframing the discussion about work and values. He provided excellent examples of organizations that have made measurable and sustainable strides in achieving “integrated wholeness” in today’s competitive environment. Importantly, to me the author has successfully captured the essence of what motivates people to work beyond material gain which he grounded in decades of organizational research and practice, which the source can be trusted.
