Employees need values they can believe in. But due to the mergers and downsizings of previous years, age-old norms of employment security have gone by the wayside--leaving workers betrayed and confused and apathetic about their jobs. As a result, many American organizations have lost the spirit and loyalty of their workforce as well as their competitive edge.
Values-Based Leadership offers a powerful vision for reinvigorating and restoring the heart and soul of organizations. This timely book demonstrates how to replace the feeling of "anomie"--disillusionment, isolation, and hopelessness--and reenergize employees with a renewed sense of belonging, commitment, and connection to their organizations. |

Imagine the opportunity to talk with 25 of America’s most respected leaders—people like Craig Newmark, founder of craigslist; Mary Ellen Weber, former NASA astronaut; Dean Kamen of Segway; and NFL star Chris Zorich, whose personal story inspired the title of this book. Learn firsthand what makes them so effective in their lives and work. A new leadership model emerges, one that says there are effective ways to manage organizations and make profits without leaving a sense of humanity at the office door. More and more, at the helm of successful companies, you’ll find a different sort of leader. Collaborators, not controllers, they are “square apples,” bold men and women who dare to create success by reshaping the workplace with six critical values -- humility, compassion, transparency, inclusiveness, collaboration, and values-based decisiveness. |
