Book Review

Joy at Work -
A Revolutionary Approach to Fun on the Job
By Dennis W. Bakke

This is an exceptional book! 

"Joy at Work is simply the best book I have ever read about integrating human values and economic success.  Bakke has changed the nature of the game of business forever.  The book is an answer to our cynicism and materialism and to the loss of faith in our leaders.  It is required reading for all who are in a leadership position, are studying leadership, or know someone who is doing either." 

- Peter Block, author of Stewardship and The Answer to How is Yes

Here's an excerpt:

  

There is a disturbing preoccupation with economics in our world ... I believe that economics is important for individuals, organizations, and nations.  However, it is only one element of a healthy life and far from the most important one ... Winning, especially winning financially, is a second-order goal at best.  Working according to certain timeless, true, and transcendent values and principles should be our ambition.  A major point of this book is to suggest a broader definition of organizational performance and success, one that gives high priority to a workplace that is filled with joy for ordinary working people.  Such a place gives all workers an opportunity to make important decisions and take significant actions using their gifts and skills to the utmost.

Buy a copy of Joy at Work and discover how to make work exciting, rewarding, stimulating, and enjoyable!
