Research by the Gallup Organization suggests that fewer than three out of ten Americans are engaged in their jobs. Imagine the wasted human potential! In economic terms, disengaged workers cost our economy $250-$300 billion every year--and that's a conservative estimate. Motivational speeches and incentive programs can produce a short burst of enthusiasm or a spike in productivity. But a flameout almost always follows, then a return to the sorry status quo. What makes organizations thrive over the long term? What makes people perform to the best of their abilities--not just for a burst of productivity, but over the course of a career? As Michael Lee Stallard shows, it all comes down to creating an environment where people feel connected to one another, to their work, and to the larger mission of the organization. Michael Lee Stallard shows the three keys that can empower a leader to transform even a lethargic, disconnected organization into an impassioned, innovative, and thriving workplace. Practical and inspiring, Fired Up or Burned Out just might launch the revolution that corporate America needs. Starting with you. Reviews "An enthralling and impressive work. It shows how to empower people and create great societies, corporations and cultures. I'm giving it to everyone at my own firm." —Russell Reynolds, Jr., Founder and Former CEO, Russell Reynolds Associates; Chairman, The Directorship Search Group "In our turbulent times, leaders who are searching for ways to develop the healthy work environment that releases the energy of their people, releases the human spirit, could not find a more inspiring support than this great new resource for leaders in the corporate, government and social sectors.

Readers are compelled to emerge smarter, more thoughtful, and more energized and engaging with this book." —Regina Fazio Maruca, former Senior Editor, Harvard Business Review, Coauthor Your Leadership Legacy "Stallard's strategy gives business owners the tools to energize and strengthen their employees.
