Wellbeing at Work: How to Build Resilient and Thriving Teams

After hearing two podcasts in which Dr. Jim Harter (co-author) was interviewed, I ordered "Wellbeing at Work" and finished it in just two or three reading sessions. I truly believe that this should be required reading for current and future leaders! Why?Unlike many leadership (and other) books, we learn only about the authors' opinions, not facts. Clifton and Harter present facts based on the extensive research conducted by Gallup. While the book is a total of 325 pages, only 152 are text with the rest being detailed appendices that include specific information on the research, e.g., meta-analysis, hypothesis, methods and results (Appendix 4).Much of the work I do includes helping leaders be more "coach-like." "Wellbeing at Work" emphasizes the importance of leaders who help others thrive being coaches and moving from "boss to coach" (p. 124).Sections may outline discussions such as "risks to a new thriving culture" but more importantly in each case specific steps for addressing risks, issues, etc. are outlined.A code to take the CliftonStrengths Assessment is included. I have taken this several times over the last 5 years AND looking forward to taking it again.I am sharing my enthusiasm for this book with friends and colleagues. It has had a major impact on my thinking and hope that if you read it your experience will be the same.Ed Nottingham, PhD, PCCConsulting & Clinical PsychologistAuthor, "It's Not as Bad as It Seems: A Thinking Straight Approach to Happiness"

What a fantastic book! After a decade working in government, I was not familiar with Gallup and JimClifton’s research.This book is every company’s blueprint to creating strong teams, empowering their workforce and identifying strengths!!!

Exactly as described and in perfect condition. Thank you!

This is a great book and very useful for leaders. The book mentioned about one-time access code to a strengths finder assessment but I can’t seem to locate this in the book.AMAZON Kindle! Please help!

This book uses data combined with relevant current trends to create a clear path for leaders to DO something to improve the lives of those we lead! Thank you Gallup for blazing this trail.

Well written

What a great book! It has similar data to Its the Manager by Gallup, but it is so insightful when breaking down areas of wellness and how to uniquely approach your employees.

I’m curious about the representation of diverse populations in this book. It’s not mentioned. I scoured the appendix. Nothing. The book just references that it consulted many organizations and used its data from thousands of assessments. But since we know most corporations under-index against marginalized people (POC, Q+) it’s leaves you wondering if these people are fairly represented or if the concept is scalable.

Easy to read, much to gain

The author has realized the problems in practice. I am sure that anyone can find helpful directions for his/her personal issues.

Great book and pertinent to today’s challenges of well-being and work life balance

It's got useful theories but lacks practical information on how to tackle the challenges of improving workplace wellbeing.
