Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
A prolific personal development author shows how people can realize their dreams at work. With muscular clarity, he says the contract between worker and company should include an organized effort to help both become better versions of themselves. Companies can do their part by helping employees talk about goals, work on them, and find resources to achieve them. Though many listeners might prefer hearing the authorÕs voice, David Slavin brings his own commitment to the production. Wisely taking a supporting role to the authorÕs powerful words, Slavin allows KellyÕs ideas to shine without filters, without dramatic tinkering. The result is one of the purest and most powerful lessons on using the workplace to help people achieve self-actualization. T.W. 2008 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
From Booklist
The business statistics are astounding: high percentages of detached, ready-to-exit employees; soon-to-occur vacancies among top executive and middle-manager ranks; and a growing chasm between employees and the organizations they work for. From Gallup to corporate human resources gurus, myriad solutions have been proposed. Yet Kelly, consultant and author (The Rhythm of Life, 1999; The Seven Levels of Intimacy, 2005, among others), proffers an idea that seems simple to implement. His philosophy is that organizations can only become best versions of themselves if their employees can realize that same opportunity. Center stage is the Dream Manager, an individual (or group) devoted to helping workers achieve personal life goals. His fictional parable plays out the story of Admiral Janitorial Services, a cleaning company plagued with extraordinarily high turnover. Presto digito! Within months of hiring a Dream Manager, employees stayed. Profits increased—and customers clamored for information. It is true that the pursuit of dreams "creates passion, energy, enthusiasm, and vitality." It is also true that, without solid proof, few businesses will explore this avenue. Jacobs, Barbara
