A Must-Read for Any Business Leader,
By A Customer
This review is from: Values-Shift: The New Work Ethic & What it Means for Business (Paperback)
Though pitched primarily to business leaders, anyone interested in the changing workplace will relate to this book. The authors do an excellent job of presenting their case: it's tough to find good employees who will stick around. Family, the economy, society, and technology have caused workers to re-examine their lives, and they're the ones now with the power.So how do employers keep good employees? Learn about and listen to what employees want, and create a great place to work. The book outlines six expectations employees have: balance and synergy, work as a noble cause, personal growth and development, partnership, community at work, and trust. The major theme, though, is values: workers want a workplace they can believe in. The authors present examples of companies across North America currently meeting (and often surpassing) their employees' expectations, to superb retention results. Quizzes at the end of each chapter help business leaders put what they've learned into action, and profiles of company leaders bring a human element in. CEOs, ignore this book at your peril: this is the future of work.

An Essential Book for the Leaders Library,
By Andrew Neuner (Fort St. John, British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Values-Shift: The New Work Ethic & What it Means for Business (Paperback)
I had eagerly anticipated this book after having read John Izzo's first book, "Awakening Corporate Soul" co-authored with Eric Klein. Many books on changing values and cultures often provide the reader with mostly theory, jargon and academic research. This book bridges the gap between theory and practice in a user friendly manner. The book is full of examples of companies and individuals making a difference in their workplace and relating this to the changing values of the workforce. It is an easy, captivating read. This book has helped me understand the workforce in our organization better and in doing so has helped me to be a more responsive leader. However, this book needs to be shared with others in your organization. Every manager would do themselves well to have this book in their library.

"David embraces Goliath",
By Laurie Maslak, Consultant (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Values-Shift: The New Work Ethic & What it Means for Business (Paperback)
Finally a book for organizations that is filled with stories of "right" practices! Izzo & Withers have successfully identified four of the natural forces facing today's world of work and six emerging values shifts based on generational differences. An excellent tool for all HR professionals, leaders within organizations or consultants interested in developing the "best" in people and systems. I would highly recommend this book as an addition to anyone's "favorite" bookshelf.
