How Healthy is Your Organization? - The leader's guide to curing corporate diseases and promoting joyful cultures

Work can be a source of joy, but also the root of burning out - claim organisation consultancy experts Imre Lövey (general manager of Concordia) and Manohar. S. Nadkarni. If so, why are there masses of people complaining about overdrive, exploitation, and lack of motivation? Why are so many people unhappy at their work place? The authors say organisations are living organisms which can be healthy or ill, just like the people who work there. Certain companies suffer from Workaholism, ohters from Money Mania, Short-sightedness or Self-centered Leadership, or a combination of several sympthoms. And ailing corporations create discomfort in their employees. It is a vicious circle: undermotivated, illhumoured employees cannot drive the company to success in the competitive environment, which brings about further diseases in the firm. The second, expanded and amended edition of The Joyful Organisation presents detailed description of no less than twenty-two "coporate diseases", and provides clear charts to help readers diagnose troubles and cure symptoms. The book provides a hands-on recipe to managers, especially to responsible leaders who wish to establish a joyful working culture within their corporation, thereby making work a source of enjoyment for their fellow workers. The book can also help managers "screen" their work place and understand the reasons and consequences of the indifference, overdrive or lack of discipline they experience at their office on a daily basis. The book is highly recommended to employees, workers and managers who fell they are irreversibly disillusioned with work and labour as such.
