We’ve learned to systemize, homogenize, and mechanize – all in the quest for greater efficiency and cost-saving. We’ve forgotten that the human being is the centre of work.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis book highlights the ten essential performance and development conversations leaders must have to restore human spirit at work. First, it explains the importance of cultivating an authentic workplace by resisting the dumbing down of work and respecting employee dignity. Second, it presents five developmental conversations, from coaching to relationship-building. Third, it outlines five performance conversations, from climate review to innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAn organization – any organization – is a group of people working together towards a common goal, but we tend to lose sight of this simple idea.
