Praise

"Ken Thomas continues to contribute to our understanding of the mystery of employee engagement. He provides leaders with a roadmap that will not only guide them in working with their talented teams, but also help them understand their own motivation as well.”
—Beverly Kaye, CEO/Founder, Career Systems International and coauthor of Love 'Em or Lose 'Em and Love It, Don't Leave It

“This new edition is even more timely and relevant than the first. Before you work another day, read this book so you know how you can make the most of what drives you and others.”
—Jim Kouzes, coauthor of The Leadership Challenge and A Leader’s Legacy

"In this second edition, Ken Thomas elegantly captures the essence of engagement and how leaders can create and sustain it. Valuable reading for anyone wishing to create or lead a 21st century organization.”
—David. W. Jamieson, PhD, President Jamieson Consulting Group, Past President, American Society for Training & Development, and coauthor of Managing Workforce 2000
