What people are saying
A book for our times!
This book covers what I’ve seen emerge as one of the key issues in the world of corporate leadership. Importantly, the insights that this book gives, moves beyond wellness to wellbeing. How to create thriving teams and through that, thriving organisations.
This book is a must read for the times in which we now live and operate!
If you’re a people leader who wants to create a culture where those you lead genuinely thrive, this is one book you MUST read. Such a timely and important reminder considering everything the world is facing right now. So excited to see the impact this book will have!
Work Wellbeing is a must-read book for 2020 and beyond. It makes for both easy and compelling reading. It is practical and the insights stated with clarity. It should be a compulsory narrative for on-boarding new organisational leadership.
Really a “must read” for anyone who runs any type of business. So much of what is said in the book is inspirational for anyone trying to have a happy and motivated staff in a pleasing work environment…and that hopefully promotes wellbeing for all, staff and clients/patients.
An easy read due to quotes, layout and quality flow of information. Yet I find myself being challenged to consider and think differently. I recommend reading if you are a leader who wants to influence, motivate and lead people to thrive!
This timely book is essential reading for those who want practical and clear advice on the current state of wellbeing and how to implement solutions that support the changing work environment for individuals and teams. It is highly informed and advances the understanding of this important topic.
Work Wellbeing is perfectly timed for a socially constrained world that is trying to work remotely. This book will provide leaders the important insights that go to the core of human inspiration and team health and well being. When leaders care about their people and the human dimension of work, teams lift. Everyone wins.
McCrindle and Fell tell the story of successful leaders with engaging clarity and hard evidence. They explain how to build thriving organisations without allowing work to become the sum total of people’s lives. There is much to be gained from getting this balance right and much to be lost if it’s not.
Love this book. It has never been more important to nurture wellbeing in our people and engage our workforces. We cannot be effective leaders without being mindful of the human condition, how we harness people’s strengths so they can flourish and thrive.
