My book, WorkInspired: How to Build an Organization Where Everyone Loves to Work, shares real-life stories and provides actionable advice to show people managers and leaders everywhere how. What might it look like if your people trusted one another and looked out for one another, if everyone at all levels felt inspired to innovate every day, and if managers empowered every employee to develop and make the most of his or her career?
