Aus dem Klappentext

There Is No Place Like Work is an easy-to-understand business parable about the importance of workplace culture in achieving organizational success and finding personal meaning through work. Inspired by The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, it tells the story of Dot, the founder and CEO of a successful company that has begun to falter. Dot embarks on a journey to Reflection City to meet the business whiz Mr. Insite. On her way, she encounters three individuals who might just remind you of three friends from Oz. They introduce her to the core elements that make their work personally fulfilling and that generate bottom-line success for their companies. Upon meeting Mr. Insite, Dot learns how to apply the wisdom she has earned so that she, too, can create a purposeful, satisfying and profitable work environment.
Today's companies seek productive, committed employees. There Is No Place Like Work is indispensable for leaders who want to create successful workplaces with dedicated employees who are connected to the company, not just the job.
Dr. Sheila L. Margolis and Dr. Ava S. Wilensky are the founding partners of CORE InSites Inc., a management consulting firm based in Atlanta, Georgia. They specialize in organizational culture and the strategic use of human resources. The model they present in this book is based on their research, which received the Georgia State University Andrew Young School of Policy Studies "Distinguished Contribution to Human Resource Development Research Award." They are featured speakers at meetings and events, and their work has been published in academic and professional journals and magazines.
