  With employee engagement between 26-30 percent leaders are looking for ways to engage untapped employee potential and maximize their capital investment in HR.  A new business paradigm is emerging in the twenty-first century where an organization's culture is the most important and valuable asset a company has to attract, engage, and retain top talent. The most successful corporations in the world are values-driven and consciously invest in building their workplace culture so that it aligns with the personal values of their people.  Values are a source of life-force energy that come from within. They inspire and motivate us and embody our heart and soul. Study of contextual cardiology has demonstrated the existence and power of the heart's energy. We experience this in the form of emotional intelligence and intuition. The more leaders practice connecting with their emotional intelligence (emotions such as love, compassion, loyalty, and trust), the more effective they will be at leading themselves and others. This is because employees are looking for leaders they can trust and who care for others, want to make a difference, and contribute to society.  A facilitative leadership style is the key to transforming an organization and creating a culture of engagement. It moves people from being focused on "me" (self-interest) to "we" (common good). Facilitative leaders unify the organization, connect hearts and minds, empower employees to bring their best selves to work, and create a WOW culture where employees love what they do.  The book contains unique tools for inner and outer transformation, along with case studies and worksheets to support leaders' journeys of culture change to measure, map, and manage cultural transformation. What you measure you can manage.  Organizational transformation begins with the personal transformation of the leaders because organizations don't change; it's the people in them who do. Leaders learn how to "walk the talk" and be the change they want to see.

  Social Nation describes how businesses can engage customers,  employees, suppliers, and shareholders in a mutually beneficial  alliance by creating a well-designed and managed portfolio of  social media initiatives. This portfolio can deliver dramatic  results, spurring innovation, improving product design, raising  employee productivity, lifting retention rates for all  stakeholders, and boosting sales and profitability.   Aside from rewards, there are risks to be considered. This book  gives readers practical guidance, for example warning against the  temptation to engage in social media as a quick-fix marketing or  public-relations gimmick.   Distilling the cumulative experience of hundreds of  professionals and customers, the book offers 100 concise,  experience-based prescriptions to help readers consider how they  can best use social media to realize their goals. Compelling case  histories and anecdotes illuminate and entertain.  Topics include:    Create solid platforms: build a seamless, integrated  community platform. The unconnected piecemeal approach can create a  communications problem.  Get registration right: convince community members to  register and provide the personal information you need--without  annoying them.  Take the measure of Twitter: members of Twitter are not  the captive old-media audiences of television and radio; they have  to be wooed. Humanize your business.  Moderate, dont censor: an online community  reflects on its sponsors public image. Monitor the content  it shares without censoring freedom and unpredictability.
