Packed with memorable stories, the latest neuroscience, and original frameworks and models, this blueprint for a successful “gifted” organization is a must read for any leader who is surrounded and supported by an exceptional group of people—and must keep them climbing in a market that demands hyper-growth.
A once inspired workforce is now disillusioned with the workplace, and leaders of extraordinary organizations are terrified to execute high-growth strategies, because they won’t survive if their precious talent leaves under the strain of such a significant change. In this pithy and pragmatic book, seasoned management consultant John Weathington helps leaders better understand the secrets of esprit de corps in a fresh way that incorporates recent discoveries in neuroscience, anthropology, and organizational behavior. John walks the reader through the technical and emotional decisions that should be made during difficult circumstances, using examples from his own 30 years of experience working with complex and gifted organizations. This book takes on the thorny subject of collective human behavior and extracts golden nuggets for leaders to apply to their strategy, organizational design, and their own development, all while fostering a healthy, vibrant workplace where people thrive.
Distilling a vast array of science-based disciplines into immediately actionable advice, this book is a transformative resource for C-Suite leaders of mid- to large-sized companies, Senior Vice Presidents of very large organizations, and the professionals supporting these leaders, who all face the unenviable challenge of scaling up an organization while retaining top talent.
