This is a book for everyone, guiding us to what good management and worker goals should be and can be when they are one. By stressing equally the goals of management and the needs of employees, they have found the road to long-term productivity.\" —Piedad Robertson, president, Santa Monica College, and former Secretary of Education, Commonwealth of Massachusetts  \u003cp\u003e\"This book evokes the \"aha\" phenomenon. You will recognize immediately the somnolent state of many workers whom Cloke and Goldsmith describe. In a wonderfully written book, these incredibly wise and humane organizational experts approach the problem of workers' apathy with the keen eye of the clinician, the clear-mindedness of the theoretician, and the empathic heart of the gifted therapist. \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Waking People Up\u003c\/i\u003e is a real gem!\" —Jean Lipman-Blumen, Thornton F.

They show how organizations can develop the systems, processes, techniques, and relationships that affirm, rather than undermine, the intelligence and humanity of their employees. This important resource is filled with the necessary tools, interventions, and strategies managers can use to encourage their employees to speak, hear, absorb, and use the information they need to improve the way they work.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eForeword (Warren Bennis).  \u003cp\u003ePreface.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Authors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One: Context: Cultivating Awareness and Authenticity.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
