Episode #105: The Four Secrets of Passionate Organizations - a podcast by Jeff Brown

The latest research suggests that only 29 percent of employees are truly engaged in the work they do.

That’s like an engine running at less than one third its power. How an your team reach its potential with that level of engagement?

Imagine your company instead with eight out of ten people truly engaged. What would this mean to your company’s productivity, morale, retention, and ability to recruit top talent?

Mike Goldman tackles these topics and more in the newly-released 2nd edition of his book Performance Breakthrough: The Four Secrets of Passionate Organizations. Told in story form, it’s a quick and fascinating read.
