Product description...

How does this sound? Your organization is humming! People come to work every day energized, excited, and engaged—ready to provide the “discretionary enthusiasm” so crucial to the organization’s success. Performance is outstanding on all the critical metrics. Your customers are delighted.

Does that sound too good to be true? Impossible to achieve? It doesn’t have to be.

Thriving Organizational Cultures highlights the underlying dynamics that drive high-performance organizational cultures. The fact is that you can’t build a Thriving Organization in one, two, or three easy steps. But these pages are filled with detailed, real-world examples of what it means and what it takes to become a Thriving Organization—as Gary Hamel says, an organization “fit for the future and fit for human beings.” You’ll find a clear, practical blueprint to help you and your organization get there.

So, no, you can’t build a Thriving Organization overnight, in just one or two easy steps. But you can continuously improve your organizational culture. You can help your people realize their full potential. You can put your organization—whether it’s a team, a business unit, or an entire company—on the path to sustained cultural excellence. And you can start that exciting journey right now—right here.

Author Information...

Michael PacanowskyMichael Pacanowsky is the Gore-Giovale Professor of Business Innovation, and the Founding Director of the Center for Innovative Cultures, at the Bill and Vieve Gore School of Business at Westminster College. Michael’s career has focused on uncovering and communicating the deep dynamics of a high performing organizational culture — the core values, principles, and practices that enable an organization and its people to thrive. In the 1980s, his research led him to W. L Gore & Associates, the developer of GORE-TEX ® fabrics, recognized as one of the world’s most innovative companies. Over the next 30 years, as a consultant and then a full-time Gore “Associate” focused on strategic change initiatives, he played a key role in helping to shape and sustain the company’s unique culture. In 2013, Michael returned to academic life to reflect on his Gore experiences, explore other outstanding organizational cultures, and articulate the ways organizations can thrive by unleashing the talent, passion, and potential of people at work. This book is one result.
