What if companies made developing their people's capabilities core to their mission?
And what if equipping people with the intellectual, emotional, and social capabilities they need to thrive and contribute in the world was a recognized and incentivized form of social contribution? Leadership development experts Ed Offterdinger and Catherine Allen know from years of professional experience that higher profits, happy, engaged, and productive employees, better relationships away from work, and a better world are the result when companies put people development at the center of their strategy.
And now more than ever, employers and employees know that embracing continuous learning and development is the single most important way to adapt and succeed in a fast-changing, complex, and technically driven world. But the challenge for leaders is how to change their organization's culture and practices to support more conscious people development in the flow of everyday work. This book is the inspiration to change and a practical guide to show you how to connect all the dots and make real culture change happen at your organization. Your team is already spending more time at work than just about anywhere else--why not harness that time for the betterment of your company, people, community, and world?

Ed Offterdinger is a catalyst and leader who has brought Conscious Capitalism to our nation's capital at a time when we all have desperately needed it! I deeply admire his perspective, and recommend his and Catherine's work here for your personal and professional development. David Gardner, Cochairman, The Motley Fool
Developing consciousness at work is the work of our time. Ed and Catherine remind us of the potential of human development at work and how it will soon transform business as we know it. Bryan Ungard, Chief Purpose Officer at the Decurion Corporation, Cofounder of the Decurion Institute for Wholeness and Development

The scene: What if you woke up one day to find your award-winning company crumbling? Andrew Hyde experiences just this kind of wakeup call, and in the face of an attempted takeover of the company he started with his partner, Patricia Carter, he dares to ask bigger questions: since most workers spend more time at work than they do with friends or family, what would happen if companies used the time to develop the capabilities their people need to thrive in today's modern world? What if employers consciously invested in creating the conditions that develop their employees' full potential and encouraged them to use those capabilities to contribute to their communities, families, and the world? Andrew discovers that consciously developing his employees is more than just good business; it is a way companies can make the most difference in our world. Working closely with a diverse group of team members in his company, Andrew fights the odds (and the forces conspiring to make him fail) to save the company and truly empower his team.
