“The real beauty of Matthew Kelly’s breakthrough is that it is one of those rare discoveries that is as beneficial for employees as it is for a company’s bottom line.”
—Patrick Lencioni, from the Foreword to THE DREAM MANAGER
“The Dream Manager emphasizes that a key and critical role of leadership is the ability to recognize the dreams of those that we lead and inspire them to achieve those visions... I believe Matthew Kelly’s new book will be an important contribution to the literature of leadership.”
—Robert A. McDonald, Chief Operating Officer of Procter & Gamble
Managing people is difficult. With disengagement and turnover on the rise, many managers are scratching their heads wondering what to do. It’s not that we don’t dream of being great managers, it’s just that we haven’t found a practical and efficient way to do it. Until now...
Bestselling author Matthew Kelly’s new book, THE DREAM MANAGER (Hyperion Books; August 21, 2007; $19.95 hardcover), tells the story of a fictional company grappling with real problems of high turnover and low morale. The managers begin to investigate what really drives the employees.
What they discover is that the key to motivation isn’t necessarily the promise of a bigger paycheck or title, but rather the fulfillment of crucial personal dreams. For some, it’s buying a first home; for others, learning a new skill or finally taking a proper vacation.
Beginning with his important thought that a company can only become the-best-version-of-itself to the extent that its employees are becoming better-versions-of-themselves, Kelly explores the connection between the dreams we are chasing personally and the way we all engage at work. Tackling head-on the growing problem of employee disengagement, Kelly explores the dynamic collaboration that is unleashed when people work together to achieve company objectives and personal dreams.
The power of THE DREAM MANAGER is that simply becoming aware of the concept will change the way you manage and relate to people instantly and forever. Whether it be for the CEO of a large corporation or the manager of a small department, the principle of a school or a football coach, a parent struggling with the dynamics of teamwork within a family or an employee just looking to make sense of daily work, THE DREAM MANAGER can help any leader achieve remarkable results by helping their teammates fulfill their dreams.
