The Problem. Workplaces are very dysfunctional environments. They don’t have to be. But they usually are. And the root cause for most of it is human nature itself.
It doesn't help that the business world has almost deified the label of self-made, and often so at the expense of the truly more virtuous self-aware . And it turns out that’s a widespread problem. The popularity of startup culture has made sayings like “bootstrapped” and “wearing many hats” monikers of hard work and success. The question is, when are you sufficiently past the startup stage to no longer need to bootstrap or wear many hats? When do your problems take on the look of a new level?
Unhealthy cultures and unhealthy organizations cannot exist long-term without burning out a significant percentage of team members in the process. The truth is, better teams of more engaged and productive team members help create better results. It’s that simple.
And yet most organizational leaders don't even know where to start. And that's why this book exists. Make Work Better is a personal letter from long-time business consultant Will Graham to leaders who take workplace health (and the results that will inevitable flow from it) seriously. You'll walk away with a more thorough understanding of... If you’ve ever thought that workplace culture, team health, and project results could be better where you are, then read this book!
