Rodd Wagner's book, widgets: The 12 New Rules for Managing Employees As If They're Real People, rocketed to be among my favorite books - fiction or non - and near the top* of my favorite books on business and employee engagement. Here's my review of it.
Rodd's agreed to be a guest on my radio show, June 10th at 10:00 a.m. Central. You can listen here.
Besides writing this great book, Rodd is one of the foremost authorities on employee engagement and collaboration. Wagner's books, speeches, and research focus on how human nature affects business strategy. He currently serves as vice president of employee engagement strategy at BI Worldwide.
Wagner is a confidential advisor to senior executives on the best ways to increase their personal effectiveness and their organizations' performance. His work has taken him around the world, to the executive suites of major corporations in nearly every industry, to the Pentagon, and to the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz.
Wagner's books have been published in 10 languages and his work featured in The Wall Street Journal, ABC News Now, BusinessWeek.com, CNBC.com, and the National Post of Canada, and parodied in Dilbert.
So, stop by June 10th at 10:00 a.m. Central and listen.
* I say 'near' the top because I see my favorite books as parents see their children. I love them all, for different reasons. Still it's high praise from me as I'm comfortable being a critic.
