The Game of Work examines the question of why people work harder at sports and recreation than they do on the job and uses these as metaphors for inspirational leadership strategies. Corporations worldwide have enjoyed the increased productivity, employee satisfaction and motivation, and bottom-line profits by implementing the concepts taught in The Game of Work. As qualified people become increasingly difficult to attract and retain, the implementation of the five principles in this book is the one key factor to improving results, retention, and recruitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompanies are raving about the game of work!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\" You've helped us to clarify our scorekeeping, and in the process, enabled us to build ownership of results at the front line.\" VP International Operations, Pepsi Bottling Group\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\" We had budgeted a $4 mm improvement in costs and have just closed the year with a $10 mm improvement, 250 percent better than budget!
