Whether in the political, economic, family or leisure, we all seek to give us the means to act and make decisions freely. But too often in the world of work, this freedom escapes us. We find ourselves hampered by a hierarchy and excessive control that paralyze us. In this book, Isaac Getz and Brian Carney show us that freedom granted to employees is yet one of the main performance levers available to a company. Trusting employees, giving them the margin of manaeuvre and treat as equals helps increase productivity and efficiency while working ... happier! This requires open and honest communication: we not only share information, but also listen to employees and take into account their contributions in order to encourage initiative and autonomy. This approach, which is to take full advantage of the human capital of the business, has been applied with great success in many companies. This book traces with great precision some of the biggest success stories, such as Harley-Davidson. A fascinating read for any leader who wishes to initiate a cultural change in its business based on its human capital.
