Description: The Soul of the Organization reveals the five underlying elements in the “souls” of high performing organizations that tap into and influence employees’ heads and hearts to foster long-lasting engagement, satisfaction and meaning at all levels of an organization. Zenoff tells the case histories of 11 high performing companies and non-profits and includes examples from over 30 others he has studied or worked with in his 40+ year career in management consulting and academia. The author then offers both a conceptual framework and a practical primer on how leaders and managers in any organization can leverage these key elements to ignite and sustain employee engagement, boost individual and organizational productivity and deliver improved performance – with lasting impact.
