Opis

The Vibrant Organisation translates the science of human behaviour into a playbook of highly practical interventions that build and scale enthusiasm, transforming organisational culture and performance. The book helps create more joy and fulfilment at work, whilst also steering a path to sustained competitive advantage.

Using cutting-edge research in neuroscience and psychology, as well as the author’s considerable practical experience, Duncan Wardley offers a three-part framework for building teams of agile, adaptable, curious, and highly motivated people:

• Reset shows how to reduce the threat response by creating a safe environment for employees
• Ignite teaches leaders how to create events or experiences that create flashes of insight and motivation
• Fuel demonstrates how to sustain people’s motivation through repeatable actions, resulting in an upward spiral of enthusiasm.

Packed with fascinating research, on-the-ground stories, and new scientific findings – along with practical tools and exercises – The Vibrant Organisation is a must read for business leaders at all levels looking to get the best out of themselves and their people.

Recenzje

"The Vibrant Organisation takes the science and stories of creating vibrant organisations and converts them into a playbook of practical steps any leader can use. An essential read."

Neil Munn, Global CEO, Bartle Bogle Hegarty.

"The Vibrant Organisation provides a rigorous, evidence-based analysis of the neuroscientific and psychological states fundamental to engagement, productivity and development at work; it forges a missing link in business science."

Adrian Webb, former Board Director, Gocompare, and co-founder of Adeki Performance.

"Very occasionally a book is written that actually has something fresh, valuable and easily accessible, to add the world of human development in the business context, and this is undoubtedly one of those books. To not read it it is to miss out on the chance to bring to life your and your peoples best selves. If you want to leave a meaningful legacy, and be remembered for all the right reasons, put the clear, simple principles and practices of this book into action".

Jeremy Sweeny, executive and team coach, working with some of the world's most senior leadership teams.

"A book of substance, style and simplicity that provides today’ leaders with a practical neuroscientific framework from which to build cultures of genuine excellence and well-being. A must read for any leader of any team or any organisation".

George Karseras, CEO TeamUp and author of Build Better Teams: Creating Winning Teams in the Digital Age.

"I highly recommend Duncan’s powerful storytelling to all leaders across the globe grappling with changing culture by tapping into what cannot be found on a spreadsheet - the power of human potential"

Jackie Gittins, CEO Coach Nudge.
