Why Work Sucks and How to Fix Itby Cali Ressler, Jody Thompson (Portfolio, 256 Pages) A groundbreaking way to be happier at work while also being more effective than ever
In a “Results-Only” company or department, employees can do whatever they want whenever they want as long as business objectives are achieved. No more pointless meetings, fighting traffic to get in at 9:00, or begging for permission to watch your kid play soccer. No more cramming errands into the weekend or waiting until retirement to take up your hobbies again. As long as the work gets done, you have complete control over your life. It sounds like a fantasy, but Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson have already made it a reality at Best Buy, a Fortune 100 company that has embraced the Results-Only Work Environment. The authors have proven that ROWE not only makes employees happier, but also delivers better results. Their program has been so successful that it made the cover of BusinessWeek. This book explores why most workplaces are so dysfunctional and offers a dramatic new way to stop the toxic behaviors and beliefs (“sludge”) that keep us from reaching our potential. It also shows readers how to start their own Results-Only Work Environment, even on a small scale, and help spread the revolution. Filled with passion and common sense, Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It will change the way you think about your job, your company, and your quality of life. |
