Book Reviews of 22 Keys to Creating a Meaningful Workplace

Book Review: A practitioner's perspective
Summary: 5 Stars

As an internal quality management consultant for the past 10 years, I have always made the point that "slightly more than 1/3 of one's waking hours are spent at work, and - if not a place you get up in the morning raring' to go to - it ought to at least be a place you don't mind being at for that length of time."

Here's a book that helps you, and others in any organization, figure out how your workplace can become a meaningful one. The book is the result of years of observation and interviews and provides a framework by which you can assess your organization, and create an action plan for yourself and your workplace.

What I liked about the book was the way it organized a way of thinking about what makes for a workplace that works for the people that inhabit it, and respects us as individuals. In that organization is both a teaching tool and a way of doing assessment that leads to action. For you quality professionals, it's a way of doing "Plan-Do-Study-Act" around the topic of workplace environment. Its also full of personal stories that illustrate concepts - a necessary way of making concepts come alive.

I read a lot of books and articles on the subject of quality management - and this one tops my list from the last year.
