In today's stressful work environment, organisations can be crippled not only by product failures or dramatic market shifts but by internal demons. Typical problems include distrust, lack of communication, territoriality, and other negative qualities that can fester below the surface and ultimately sap the organization's vitality. But according to these experts in organisational dynamics, it does not have to be that way. In truly strong organisations, employees experience joy in performing their tasks and give their utmost to add value and help achieve organisational goals. This provocative book shows how organisations can uncover negative influences in the corporate culture, root them out, and prosper with newly committed, energised employees. As the authors argue, sustainable profitability, over the long term, is a function of achieving a balance between financial objectives, customer demands, and employee needs. Through numerous examples, case studies, and diagnostic exercises, the authors show managers and employees, as well as students and researchers of organisational behaviour, how to identify the sources of organisational disease and focus on promoting a positive, inclusive culture. The end result? Profitability, better employee retention, and a company that is fun to work for.
