The ideas presented are based on the authors' extensive work as business consultants, and are brought to life in 35 personal interviews from such varied sources as Nike, IKEA, Unilever, the U.S. Navy, Formula One racecar engineers, public school teachers in California, and barley farmers in South Africa. Underpinned by scientific research into the psychology of breakthrough, it is a handbook full of tools and tips for how to make more from less.

How to be happy at work : the power of purpose, hope and friendships / Annie McKee

Public ISBD Titre : How to be happy at work : the power of purpose, hope and friendships Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Annie McKee, Auteur Editeur : Harvard Business Review Press Année de publication : 2017 Importance : 252 p ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-633-69225-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Développement personnel Motivation Qualité de vie au travail Mots-clés : Quality of work life  Employee motivation  Happiness  Hope  Friendship Personal Success. Index. décimale : 650.1 Réussite dans les affaires Résumé : I'm working harder than I ever have, and I don't know if it's worth it anymore." If you're a manager or leader in today's high-speed, high-stress economy, these words have probably run through your mind, maybe more than once. Many people in management positions are feeling fed up, burned out, and unhappy at work: the constant pressure and stress, the unending changes, the politics ... People are feeling they can't give much more, and their performance is suffering. But it's work, after all, right? Should we even expect to be fulfilled and happy at work? Annie McKee answers with a definitive yes. She makes the most compelling case yet that happiness--and the full engagement that comes with it--is more important than ever in today's workplace. Based on extensive research and decades of experience with leaders, this book sheds new light on the powerful relationship of happiness to individual, team, and organizational success. McKee's research reveals that there are three essential elements that people must have in order to be happy at work: A sense of purpose and the chance to contribute to something bigger than themselves; A vision that is powerful and personal, creating a real sense of hope; and Resonant, friendly relationships The book is organized around these essential elements and shows how leaders can create and sustain them in the face of ongoing stress and pressure, as well as how to create a healthy, positive climate for their teams and other groups within their companies. How to Be Happy at Work will transform and enrich our understanding of what it means to be happy at work, and it will provide clear, practical advice and instruction for how to achieve this Note de contenu : Life is too short to be unhappy at work: happiness is a choice -- Why happiness matters at work: if you sacrifice happiness, you sacrifice success -- The happiness traps: myths that hold us back -- The power of purpose: live your values and make a difference -- The power of hope: optimism sparks action -- Yes, you do need friends at work: love and your tribe in the workplace -- Hearing the wake-up call: chart a path to happiness -- Sharing happiness at work: create a resonant microculture on your team.
