ABSTRACT

This book was researched and written between 2009 and 2013 in a world beset by economic woes, flights to democracy and the parallel rise of authoritarian capitalism in Russia, parts of the former Eastern Europe, Venezuela and of course China. Yet, despite very tough economic times, authentic employee engagement seems to be on the rise. Witness the publication in late 2012 of the UK government’s second report (Engage for Success; Nailing the Evidence, David MacLeod & Nita Clarke 1012 www.engageforsuccess.org) on employee

engagement, which shines a light on hundreds of excellent examples of employee engagement providing commercial and cultural value.
