Conscious Culture: How to build a High Performing Workplace through Leadership, Values and Ethics, Joanna Barclay

Change is the new norm in society, and it’s having a devastating impact on organizations. The proof? Insecure, demoralized employees and the lowest levels ever of employee engagement. North America employee engagement is between 26-30 percent, and in Asia it’s between 6-12 percent. That’s a lot of untapped employee potential!

Reinventing Capitalism: How we broke money and how we fix it, from inside and out, Jon Freeman

Money was meant to serve us, but no longer does so.  Jon Freeman’s book starts with how people view money, how we mis-perceive it and how we feel about it.  These thoughts and feelings caused us to build the systems we have, and inevitably led to their collapse.  It wasn’t just “the bankers”.  The book explores how our societal attitudes and values need to change, and how these underpin the design of a functional, sustainable and ethical replacement.  The outcome is a set of 36 design criteria for the new system.    Further details can be found at www.reinventingcapitalism.org

Values: how to bring values to life in your business, Ed Mayo 

What matters to us? One way of answering that question is through the lens of values, which have a powerful influence on our attitudes and behaviours. Yet it can be difficult for businesses to realize the true potential of values, which is to engage staff, customers and suppliers in an emotional way that touches on their own core motivations.
