From the Inside Flap
We think burnout is about exhaustion―but research shows it’s actually about hopelessness. In Hope Is the Strategy, bestselling author and corporate wellbeing pioneer Jen Fisher delivers a transformative approach to building workplaces designed by and for human beings, revealing how hope is a measurable, strategic skill that transforms organizations.
Drawing from her journey from corporate burnout to becoming the first Chief Wellbeing Officer in professional services, Fisher combines cutting-edge organizational and psychological research with straightforward frameworks for creating wellness initiatives that treat the causes of burnout, not just symptoms, and train leaders to focus on long-term performance over short-term results.
The book provides practical tools for cultivating hope through three core components: clear goals, multiple pathways, and genuine agency. You’ll learn to spot hope-depleting patterns, measure hope as a strategic asset, and implement techniques that have proven themselves in real-world environments.
This isn’t just tweaks to existing practice―it’s a new way to think about how we work, organize teams, and motivate performance. The strategies generate measurable improvements for organizations and the people within them.
Perfect for every professional and leader ready to reimagine how we work, Hope Is the Strategy represents an extraordinary opportunity for organizations of all sizes to build environments that treat people like people―through solutions you can implement now to ensure your organization and its people flourish.
