Job, Career, Or Purpose?
Leaders may try to instill a sense of their organization’s purpose in employees as a motivator for strong job performance, but many people’s priorities lie elsewhere, such as simply earning enough to provide for their family or personal interests outside of work. The authors recommend three things leaders can do to better manage employees, whether they are job-, career-, or purpose-oriented — because even those who don’t share in the organization’s purpose can make meaningful contributions.
Equity in the Hybrid Office
When the pandemic shifted many people to remote work, long-held attitudes about the practice shifted as well. Now, as many organizations are adopting hybrid work arrangements, it's imperative that leaders end the tendency to overlook remote employees' contributions and aspirations. The authors offer recommendations for both leaders and employees to help them work toward equity and access for both in-person and remote personnel.
Bad Apples Or Bad Leaders?
Research shows that the prevailing assumption that workplace deviance stems from a few bad apples is mistaken. Leaders have as strong, if not a stronger, effect on whether employees engage in deviant behaviors than is usually acknowledged. Thus, when employees act badly, savvy leaders take a step back and consider whether and how they may be complicit in that behavior.

Seventy-seven percent of leaders think they do a good job of engaging their people, yet 88 percent of employees say their leaders don't engage enough. There is also a high level of suffering in the workplace: 35 percent of employees would forgo a pay raise to see their leaders fired.

So Worth Loving
To be human means to try and sometimes fail, to love and sometimes lose, to risk and sometimes regret. There are times when we realize where our choices have brought us and we're afraid to be honest--with ourselves, with others, with God--about how we're really feeling and how we got to where we are. Because what if no one understands? What if they think less of us? What if God is disappointed with us? Eryn Eddy wants you to know that no matter your past mistakes, relationship status, career choice, or feelings, nothing can change the truth that you are so worth loving. In this openhearted book, she takes you by the hand and helps you look in, look up, and look out, exploring your relationship with yourself, God, and others. She gives you permission to feel deeply and openly before God, who isn't afraid of our feelings, no matter what they are. And she lovingly reminds you that you are not crazy, you are not alone, and you will get through this.
