Today' s multigenerational, fast-paced work environment is causing employees to rethink their work. Today it is less about the paycheck and more about seeking a meaningful and purpose-driven career. As we spend more time in the workplace, and technology makes working from anywhere more commonplace, it is more vital than ever to create a work environment that instills meaning, both in the workplace and in our lives. Research shows that the vast majority of employees (85% worldwide) are disengaged, which is killing employee happiness and satisfaction, and thereby affecting the bottom line. Meaning-Centered Leadership will inspire and incite readers to create meaning in their organizations so their employees have higher engagement and are more fulfilled. By creating meaning, we can turn employee engagement levels upside down, creating a powerful, more productive, and overall happier place to work. The 3Es of Meaning-Centered Leadership - Engagement, Empowerment, and Expertise - will provide leaders ways to develop behaviors and strategies that in turn will inspire employees to love their jobs and their lives! Happier employees lead to healthier work environments and higher engagement, positively impacting the bottom line.
During the COVID pandemic work-from-home experience, people all around the world spent time evaluating how meaningful and satisfying their lives were. And we can be certain many didn' t like the answers. So, there simply isn' t a greater demand for meaning-centered leaders - managers who value people and seek to ensure they maximize their one precious life on the planet through their work and career. Consequently, this book couldn' t be more timely. Well done! -- Mark C. Crowley, bestselling author, "Lead from the Heart: Transformational Leadership for the 21st Century"; host, Lead from the Heart podcast This book belongs on every leader' s bookshelf! The authors' thesis and corresponding strategies are a must have for anyone planning to lead us through the impending and challenging global society we are face. -- Marilou Ryder, EdD, bestselling author, "Rules of the Game: How to Win a Job in Educational Leadership" and "Sister to Sister Secrets Series for Women" You had me at "meaning-centered" with this book! Easy to read, relatable, and immediately applicable, with statistics and actionables to back it up, this book is an invitation and a call to action for today' s business leaders and organizations to show up more meaningfully. -- Anese Cavanaugh, author, Contagious Culture and Contagious You
