Changes in society have created a world where many employees now show up for work not just to do their jobs but also to discover, debate, and digest important social issues. A growing number of workers want to have an impact in the world and their preferences are a prompt for employers to be more mindful of the role of business in driving change, starting with what people experience at work. In this context, people managers are now being asked to operate as both business leaders and community leaders within the workplace - and the latter skillset is new to many. Insights in this book can help managers replace anxiety with confidence to lead with greater purpose, provide the space and support for employees to develop and, ultimately, leverage culture to bolster business. In I Dont Just Work Here, Felicia Joy and Elena Grotto, experts on behavioral science, business strategy, and organizational culture, share practical guidance to help organisations rise to these new standards by advancing seven behaviors, including the surprising - and perhaps most important - new business skill for high-performing cultures: forgiveness. Organisations that take heed and elevate people managers, invest in building a meaningful culture, and lead with clear values and behaviours, are more likely to have a decisive competitive advantage for years to come.
