Closing Q&A webinar for September Book Club on The Optimistic Workplace; Creating an Environment That Energizes Everyone.

About the Book:

Should we be working harder…or working happier?

When it comes to work these days, we’re expected to do more with less—but is this nose-to-the-grindstone philosophy the best way to run a business?

Alarmingly low employee engagement numbers indicate otherwise.

So, if pushing everyone harder isn’t the path to productivity, what is?

Supported by the latest research, this eye-opening book argues that our best work is the product of a positive environment.

That’s good news for you as a manager. While you can’t personally transform the corporate culture, you can influence the workplace climate and create meaningful and lasting change.

Advocating a steward model of management, The Optimistic Workplace reveals how to:

• Explore personal and organizational purpose—and align them for astonishing results
• Overcome resistance and skepticism
• Build camaraderie and deepen loyalty
• Increase intrinsic motivation
• Help your team find meaning in their work
• Identify goals collaboratively and track progress
• And more

Examples from companies large and small demonstrate how this “people centric” focus ignites employee potential, increases innovation, and catapults the organization to new levels of performance.

Far from being a wish-upon-a-star discussion of workplace happiness, this book presents an array of surprisingly simple strategies as well as practical 30-, 60-, and 90-day plans designed to focus your actions and make employee optimism not just a worthy goal—but a real and measurable result.

If you feel like your “to do” list is proof that you’re losing the time management battle on a daily basis, you may be stressed but you’re certainly NOT alone!

Most of us struggle with how to get it all done each day and feel exasperated when we realize that WE JUST CAN’T DO IT ALL!!!

Project Managers seem to struggle more than most – being constantly pulled by clients, sponsors, team members, SMEs, functional managers, and other stakeholders seems to leave very little time to get everything done.

The bad news is … that most of us end up running around like a hamster in a wheel trying to find ways to check off tasks as quickly as possible.

The good news is … that there is another way – a totally different way – to approach time management.

The NEW time management model introduces 4 key steps that focus the individual on effectiveness more than efficiency.

The model encourages you to ask yourself key questions like:

• Am I doing the right things?
• Am I getting the biggest bang for my minute/hour/day?
• Am I leveraging other resources that could do this better/quicker than I?

If you need a real paradigm shift to help you truly better manage your time, this session is for you!
