Synopsis

You'll never think about productivity the same way again!

Are your employees feeling exhausted, cynical, or just tuned-out? Do they frequently check their phones in meetings, and seem especially uninterested to hear about the next important organizational change? Are they working harder but getting less done? Ill too often or for too long? These are some of the classic warning signs of disengagement.

In a perfect world, work should do so much for us. It should lend us purpose and a sense of meaning, offer us structure and stability. But invariably, something goes wrong—many employees have to pull themselves over the fence each day at a job that is burning them out.

Employee engagement and burnout were declared in a state of “crisis” and the biggest concerns for employers in 2017. And we are right to be concerned. Disengagement comes at the yearly cost of $550 billion to the US economy. But it’s not just our economic prosperity that’s at stake. The study presented in Burnout to Breakthrough shows an alarming correlation between disengagement and the following three health predators: depression, obesity, and suicide.

Here, Ina Catrinescu draws on cutting-edge neuroscience, and integrates social psychology and organizational science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific management practices within the context of this workplace crisis. She redefines how we understand work and idleness. And the best part? The same turnkey solution that can aid disengagement and burnout is responsible for unleashing our creativity.

Are you ready to get your employees thirsty to create, their minds tickled, and their hearts racing? Then Burnout to Breakthrough is the right book for you.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Thomas

Burnout to Breakthrough is a strange tome, it begins with a short autobiography, a role-play between "workforce" and "poor" before launching into the material proper. What the book covers exactly is hard to summarize, probably the main body of the work is critiquing the status quo of the workplace, i......more

Goodreads review by Aaron

At my current work I am working to improve engagement through operational excellence. I was hoping to gain more insight to this and also combat my burnout at times. This book spoke of general concepts that plague the work place and used stories to describe them in detail but never touched on counter......more

Not only timing, but time is everything......more

Strange read. At times feeling like an obscure and random collection of ideas to show the difference between viewpoints of the employer vs. employee, but didn't seem to pull too much of it together by the end...or at least not in a way that the book title might suggest was the objective of the book.......more
