For frustrated managers and leaders, a guide to instilling a strong work ethic in the modern workforce.

Work ethic in America is fast declining, plaguing young and old alike. But in Reviving Work Ethic, Eric Chester shows that you do best to focus on your young employees those whose habits and ideals can still be influenced. He presents an incisive look at the root of the entitlement mentality that afflicts many in the merging workforce and shows you the specific actions you can take to give your employees a deep commitment to performing excellent work.

And his advice is crucial to a healthy bottom line: too often, talented but difficult-to-understand younger workers stand between your company and its profits. If business owners, managers, and executives are not connecting with them and modeling the key components of work ethic, employees are likely not connecting effectively with customer leaving all kinds of money on the table.
