Who hasnât felt, at least at one time, overlooked, overwhelmed, or over-self critical at work? The Emotional Life of Organisations explores the often-overlooked emotional fabric that shapes organisational life.

Organisations grow, compete, and change based on the emotions that drive people's choices, politics, and goals. Emotions can either energise or paralyse people. Most business books ignore this fundamental driver of organisational behaviour and almost exclusively focus on the logical and âcognitiveâ aspects of work. Using an easy-to-read and engaging style, The Emotional Life of Organisations will help people and businesses understand the important role emotions play in the workplace by using research, stories, useful tips, and writing assignments to explain:

â¢ Motivation: The emotions that motivate employees and how leaders can channel them.

â¢ Anxiety: Navigating workplace uncertainty, fear, and self-doubt.

â¢ Criticism: Managing the emotional impact of giving and receiving feedback.

â¢ Envy: Understanding and addressing envy in the workplace.

â¢ Change: Helping teams through the emotional rollercoaster of transformation.

â¢ Wellbeing: recognising and managing burnout, addiction, depression and the effects of emotional strain.

â¢ The emotional impact of remote working.

The knowledge gained through reading this book is powerful in helping leaders, managers, and employees to improve wellbeing, motivation, and performance at work.
