“Work-life balance” isn’t making anyone happy.
In fact, our relentless attempts to achieve this goal have created workplaces full of stress, discontent, and burnout.
While this workplace disillusionment has been brewing for years, the pandemic helped catalyze a cultural shift of workers redefining themselves beyond what they do for a living. Now, it’s time for you to rethink your role as a leader in the nexus of work and life.
In Work-Life Bloom: How to Nurture a Team That Flourishes, award-winning author Dan Pontefract contends that a thriving workplace isn’t about employee engagement levels, nor is it predicated on your team members bringing their “best selves” to work. Instead, it requires you to support the people you manage so they can be their best in work and life.
Just as a flower needs the right mix of sunlight, water, and nutrients to grow, your people need the right mix of work-life factors to create a fulfilling and harmonious existence. Pontefract introduces a new leadership paradigm focused on twelve key work-life factors that determine whether your team members’ gardens are able to grow.
Drawing upon primary global research, interviews, and personal experiences, Pontefract delivers a timely blueprint for leaders to cultivate work-life ecosystems where individuals don’t just survive―they bloom.
