Here's a revolutionary new program to help everyone with a job to overcome everyday stress and pressures and achieve their career goals in the workplace today. Who isn't
painfully aware of the demands for greater productivity, the shaky economy, the lack of job security, the competition for advancement, the frequent problems of misguided management, poor
leadership, and dysfunctional organizational behavior -- not to mention the pervasive feelings of being powerless, under appreciated, and under paid. This book addresses
precisely those conflicts with a proven plan of action, including self-assessment -- using their unique Work Life self-test -- organizational analysis, and creating a custom program
for changing our individual relationships with work, establishing our goals, and enhancing our careers. The authors are the two top academic researchers, consultants, and
corporate activists in the field of preventing burnout. Their first book, The Truth About Burnout, has been internationally acclaimed as the basic bible in the field of identifying
and understanding the problem from a theoretical point of view (more than 11,000 net sales USA, translated into German, Italian, Swedish, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Slovenian). Their
second JB/Wiley book was a ＄425 binder product for HR professionals executives. This new book is a user-friendly consumer book for all the rest of us who need to figure out where
we are, what's the problem, and what we can do about it. The authors radical approach to creating an individual initiative is based upon their famous Work Life self-test
-- establishing core values, setting a personal direction, engaging other people, initiating a realistic plan of action, making an impact, and achieving career goals. The authors have
applied this plan and seen how well it works in numerous case-example organizations highlighted in this book, including major for-profit corporations, health care
institutions, universities, and non-profits. In each case the use of their self-survey and resulting individual plan of action has initiated dramatic changes in daily work place
experience and the development of their careers overall.
