Book Description

Elements of Successful Organizations is a rich collection of eye-opening articles written by some of today’s most respected thought leaders in business, academia, and journalism. It focuses on how to invest in employees for competitive advantage and drive workplace capabilities for effective execution.

A sequel to Creating the Workforce — and Results — You Seek, the first book published by The Workforce Institutes last year, Elements of Successful Organizations continues the conversation, discussing how leaders in organizations can improve their bottom line while creating a collaborative and engaged culture for their employees.
