There was a time when the business mindset was mechanistic and task-oriented.
In recent years, however, there has been increasing activity on the part of
employers and employees to create work and a workplace that is more meaningful
and fulfilling. These people want to be part of a caring community. It's what
we have called "the soul at work".
In our book Weaving Complexity and Business: Engaging the Soul at Work, we tell stories of
organizations that value their people as people. We show how this leads to
greater bottom line success in profitability, productivity, retention and
customer satisfaction.
In our research, we heard wonderful stories from a large
cross-section of people – members of large and small companies as
well as different economic sectors. We share these rich and
moving stories with you, telling of people's daily experiences
often in their own voices. Many readers feel validated when they see
others working as they themselves wish to work. We hope YOU
can see how a different way of being at and doing work makes good
business sense.
