Beskrivning

Restore Creativity and Trust to Your WorkplaceMuch has changed since Driving Fear Out of the Workplace first made the undiscussable discussable back in 1991. Advances in technology, new employee/employer relations, and the corporate push to optimize intellectual capital have introduced a host of new workplace anxieties that, left unaddressed, can seriously inhibit individual performance and cripple a company's ability to compete. Which is why, in this revised edition, authors Ryan and Oestreich revisit their original, best-selling work to confront the fears that permeate today's organizations--so that they can become the high-trust, high-performance organizations of tomorrow. This insightful book digs deeply into the root causes of fear and the pervasive 'flu of mistrust' that weakens motivation and commitment.--Terrence E. Deal and M. K. Key, authors of Corporate Celebration: Play, Purpose, and Passion at WorkYou'll discover:* How fear prevents people from doing their best* How fear operates in organizationsHow to build business relationships without fear...and much more!This work is a timely antidote to the insecurities of workers faced with the pervasive push toward leaner, meaner organizations.
