  The book is targeted at managers in large organisations and draws heavily on my PhD research into what’s happening when people are highly engaged at work. The results are recommendations for manager’s behaviours and team processes. There's also a chapter discussing what it’s like to live in a large organisation and how this influences your status and identity. The book is sprinkled with the voices of employees. The book will also be helpful for those people responsible for organisational wide employee engagement initiatives. Perhaps you are in human resources or corporate communications. There is a chapter written with input from folk who have run these programs.
