About the book

"Can our organization be a little bit more like Pixar, Spotify, Netflix, Zappos, Virgin, Valve or IDEO? Is there something I can do to get a better company culture? Better collaboration? Better management?" The book #Workout offers concrete games, tools, and practices for all workers so they can introduce better management, with fewer managers. It addresses many common questions, such as:

• How can we measure team performance?
• How can we decide on salaries and bonuses?
• How can we define job titles and career paths?
• How can we replace performance appraisals?
• How can we motivate our workers?
• How can we change the organization s culture?

In modern organizations, people are expected to be servant leaders and systems thinkers , but nobody explains exactly how to do this on a Monday morning. Empowering workers and delighting customers is crucial, but it s not concrete. Managers, and everyone else, need to know how because most organizational problems are management problems. Management is too important to leave to the managers! This book offers you:

• Serious games to help improve organizational culture
• Simple practices that increase employee engagement
• Creative stories that inspire teamwork and collaboration
• New ways to achieve team accountability and responsibility
• Easy workout exercises to make the business more agile
• Modern tools that enable people to enjoy a happy Monday

When you implement the games, tools, and practices in this book, you can move the organization toward better management with fewer managers.
