The Thriving Organization - by Michael Pacanowsky (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

How does this sound? Your organization is humming! People come to work every day energized, excited, and engaged--ready to provide the "discretionary enthusiasm" so crucial to the organization's success. Performance is outstanding on all the critical metrics. Your customers are delighted.

Does that sound too good to be true? Impossible to achieve? It doesn't have to be.

Thriving Organizational Cultures highlights the underlying dynamics that drive high-performance organizational cultures. The fact is that you can't build a Thriving Organization in one, two, or three easy steps. But these pages are filled with detailed, real-world examples of what it means and what it takes to become a Thriving Organization--as Gary Hamel says, an organization "fit for the future and fit for human beings." You'll find a clear, practical blueprint to help you and your organization get there.

So, no, you can't build a Thriving Organization overnight, in just one or two easy steps. But you can continuously improve your organizational culture. You can help your people realize their full potential. You can put your organization--whether it's a team, a business unit, or an entire company--on the path to sustained cultural excellence. And you can start that exciting journey right now--right here.
