{"product_id":"inner-work-alexi-robichaux-9781119689140","title":"Inner work by Alexi Robichaux (Hardcover)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMuch of the workday, in mindshare and time, is dedicated to \u003ci\u003eouter\u003c\/i\u003e work: meetings with co-workers, interactions with customers, or working on a deck or other tangible deliverables. For most of us, this is the very \u003ci\u003edefinition\u003c\/i\u003e of \"work\": external, externally-focused activity. \u003ci\u003eInner Work\u003c\/i\u003e puts forth an assertion that is novel today, but that successful leaders have known for millennia: \u003ci\u003einner\u003c\/i\u003e work--the practice of thoughtful attention to the inner experience of yourself and others--is \"work\" as well, and of crucial importance; \u003ci\u003enot\u003c\/i\u003e just as a question of wellness or employee satisfaction, but as the engine of a potential transformation in the efficacy (and, yes, happiness) of most organizational workplaces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eInner Work\u003c\/i\u003e draws on a legacy of thought that spans both the Western and Eastern traditions to frame leadership, creativity, and work as an inner experience. For thousands of years across geographies and cultures, humans have understood that leadership and productivity depend on an individual's \u003ci\u003einner\u003c\/i\u003e balance and understanding. The importance of these lessons in a knowledge economy is well understood today--from Netflix to Zappos to Google to Valve, leading companies are constantly seeking to create value by empowering employees to unlock their own potential. And for the individual--leader, employee, or both--the need is even more urgent and plain: \u003ci\u003ehow can you create more value in your work for your human life?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eInner Work\u003c\/i\u003e is a book about self-exploration; it's also a toolkit for how to improve. Its assertion is that, by looking into ourselves with rigor and integrity, we each have the power to achieve both these goals. This is a book that will help leaders and employees create value for themselves and their organizations by actively exploring their own \u003ci\u003einner\u003c\/i\u003e processes, values, and mental models: the tools we use, constantly, to operate in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons, Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55257192595799,"sku":"9781119689140","price":17.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/somiibooks.com\/products\/inner-work-alexi-robichaux-9781119689140","provider":"Somiibooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
