Accessing the Vital Intelligence in Your Workplace
Yes, emotions absolutely belong at work (because they never left)!
We’ve all been taught that “being professional” means suppressing our honest emotions while we’re on the clock — but research shows that this actually leads to a loss in productivity, diminished creativity, and crushing job dissatisfaction.
Because the workplace as an entity threw emotions out the window more than a century ago, it hasn’t known how to build healthy or functional human environments, how to care for people, or what to do when their natural and necessary emotions arise.
The Power of Emotions at Work welcomes the emotions back into the workplace (they were there all along), and teaches all workers how to create respectful, effective, and emotionally well-regulated environments where everyone can get their best work done.
With her newest book, award-winning author and empathy expert Karla McLaren teaches communication and empathy skills to workers at all levels and helps them create sustainable workplaces where people and projects can thrive.
The Power of Emotions at Work is an in-depth guide for all workers — employees, managers, and CEOs — on how to engage emotions in the workplace to create a productive, creative, and truly workable environment.
Praise for The Power of Emotions at Work
THE POWER OF EMOTIONS AT WORK speaks truth to the reality that so much of work is actually emotional work — and that the toxic positivity bias is creating untenable, unhealthy teams and cultures.
This wonderful, insightful, and practical book will help you create teams that work better together and make better work.
