The Way We're Working Isn't Working

In The Way We're Working Isn't Working, Tony Schwartz explores the profound impact of our current work ethos of "more, bigger, faster" and its detrimental effects on productivity and well-being. With nearly 75% of employees feeling disengaged, Schwartz presents a transformative approach that emphasizes meeting four core needs—sustainability, security, self-expression, and significance—to enhance performance and fulfillment. Drawing on insights from a variety of organizations like Google and Ford, he offers practical strategies for individuals and leaders to effectively balance intense effort with necessary renewal, fostering a healthier and more engaged work environment.
