Book Description

April 20, 2005
From the Enron debacle to the Martha Stewart scandal, trust in business practices and in corporate leaders has been seriously jeopardized, hitting an all-time low. According to Gilbert, in his latest book, The Workplace Revolution, the problem stems from a relentless work ethic, the tireless pursuit of profit, and the conflict between business values and human values.

Finally, people are waking up to the fact that they are not getting back what they give to their employers. Gilbert's Workplace Revolution is the book to guide us and provide personal strategies and corporate methodologies for improving overall health in the workplace and restoring trust between business leaders and their employees. He writes for worker and CEO alike and provides concrete exercises for turning the experience of work into a spiritual, ideal-based, life-enhancing adventure while still meeting corporate goals.

"While...arguing for "strong medicine for corporate change," Gilbert's...realism leads him to temper our hope for social change..." -- Shift Magazine, June-August 2005

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth a Read, June 18, 2005
This review is from: The Workplace Revolution: Restoring Trust In Business And Bringing Meaning To Our Work (Paperback)
I love the way this book pulls together the personal experience of work and how it contributes (or doesn't) to one's development with an analysis of the state of the corporate soul. If you're interested in the former and have read book such as David Whyte's Crossing the Unknown Sea, Matthew Fox's The Reinvention of Work, or Greg Levoy's Callings, or if your reading tastes run toward the latter (Christine Arena's Cause for Success, Arianna Huffington's Pigs at the Trough, and The Soul of Capitalism by William Greider), you'll appreciate what Gilbert is up to here. His point is that lurking behind the obvious connection there's a profound interdependence between corporate success and personal growth. His hope, and cautiously optimistic hypothesis, is that both are increasingly defined in terms of a social consciousness that's informed by spirituality and progressive ideals of service, sustainability, mindfulness, and cooperation. At the heart of his analysis beat the questions: Is it possible to ask companies to truly move beyond self-interest? And, if not, can progressive-minded people be fulfilled working for such companies? Gilbert synthesizes a good deal of the writing being done in this arena, and his book has a great bibliography for people interested in delving further. A really good book for anyone who's questioning their work life.
