Dal risvolto di copertina interno

Lasting Change The Shared Values Process That Makes Companies Great Rob Lebow & William L. Simon Do you work just for money? Or do you seek depth and satisfaction on the job? Surveys show that we want both. Leading companies have begun to recognize that increased productivity and profitability come when motivated workers find their jobs dignified and fulfilling. Until now there has never been a realistic business process that successfully combined the ideal with the practical, the human with the pragmatic, the honorable with the profitable. The Shared Values Process presented in Lasting Change is a quantifiable, tested program that rapidly translates into bottom-line profits and enhanced job satisfaction. You?ll find

• the eight basic shared values that will transform your workplace
• how to measure the current effectiveness of your organization with an easy-to-use Values and Attitude Study
• why "fixing" people never works, and what you should do to help people work at their optimum best
• how great companies are transforming people at every level into true leaders
• how your organization can get people at every level to take responsibility and follow through
• how to benchmark and prove that the Shared Values Process actually works

As business and political leaders decry the lack of strong values in the workplace, Rob Lebow and William Simon take a pragmatic approach to putting those values back into any business. The tested, documented techniques in Lasting Change are a sure way to find continuous improvement in communication, innovation, enthusiasm, responsibility-taking, empowerment, and team play. Top companies such as Armco Steel, Trane, Holland American Lines, Westmark Hotels, PepsiCo, Engen South Africa, and Frontier Phone have been putting the Shared Values Process to work. The effects on customer focus, competitive advantage, and bottom-line results will astonish you!
