Synopsis

Employee engagement is shockingly low-but it's not an employee problem; it's a leadership problem. Bestselling author Mark Miller says it's up to leaders to create a workplace where their employees truly want to be-and he reveals four keys to doing it.

According to Gallup's 2017 report, only 33% of workers are engaged at work--and the numbers have been low for years. Leaders have tried and failed to address this critical problem. Based on Mark Miller's research, this book both simplifies and operationalizes the necessary behaviors to reverse this troubling trend. The missing link is realizing that the pandemic of low engagement is not a problem with the workers, it is a problem with the leaders.

In this charming fable, Blake, a young CEO, is convinced something is not quite right in his organization. Sales, profits, and customer satisfaction are barely improving, the competition is gaining on them and no one appears to care. And when he's honest with himself, he's lost his fire as well. He just can't put his finger on the problem. Blake seeks out his old friend and first mentor, Debbie Bruster. She sends Blake on a journey to discover the key to engaging leadership. By the end of his journey, Blake has discovered a powerful philosophy to guide his decisions in the future, and four drivers of engagement to implement today.

Goodreads review by DeeDee on November 15, 2020

If this was an article telling what engagement entails and how he discovered this, it would have been about 5 pages and would have gotten to the point- maybe even interesting. I missed at times what he was really trying to say because I was so bored and put-off with the syrupy story. It was not well......more

Employees have less loyalty to their employers and most seek more than just a paycheck. They want a positive culture, strong teams, recognition, and opportunities to learn and to contribute. Sadly, a majority of employers don’t share the same goals and are hyper-focused on numbers and results, not e......more

Goodreads review by Bill on March 04, 2019

In the fourth book of his High Performance series, written as a leadership fable, Mark Miller tells us that CEO Blake Brown notices that something isn’t right. His organization’s performance has plateaued, the competition is gaining ground, and yet he feels that nobody seems to notice. Instead, the......more

Goodreads review by Daniela on August 13, 2024

I had read several books by Mark Miller years ago and had moved on to „more serious“ non-fiction books about leadership, means not written as novel. Recently I reread „Chess not Checkers“ and discovered that Mark Miller had since then published quite some more books. I just finished „Win the Heart“......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on March 04, 2019

Win the Heart is a short read written as a fable, and while very entertaining, it really is a very high-level overview. Miller does a good job of nailing down the reasons why employees are disengaged; however, there isn’t any step-by-step information for rectifying this dilemma. This was a bit disap......more
