Description:
This two-volume set contains eight activities that create an engaged workplace and improve results.
Gallup's State of the American Workplace showed that workplaces that are actively engaged outperform workplaces that are disengaged in every measure. Crosby's two-volume set contains eight activities that create an engaged workplace and improve results.
Volume One, The Core Activities, starts with an overview and a chapter on building an engagement strategy to break long-standing dysfunction. Crosby then provides chapters on various conflict resolutions, transition meetings, and work group development.

Review Quotes: This book is a great 'pocket book'--a leader's best friend--saturated with a roadmap that puts theory into action. An organization is a 'network of relationships'. Crosby highlights the many ways this network can fumble while providing clear steps to upgrade the entire system. Too many books give glamour to theory while missing the link of how theory is implemented.--Timothy Weber, PhD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
