The Driven Organization: And What We Need to Be Happy and Productive at Work

Omar Garcia. Future Approved Works, $27.95 hardcover (296p) ISBN 978-0-9896096-0-9

Garcia's innovative, if simplistic, thesis is that a business should strive primarily to create a harmony of corporate and personal interests and meet the needs of its workers and community. Engaging with workers in a way that creates job satisfaction both boosts the bottom line and makes the workplace more comfortable. Garcia believes the unprecedented commitment of Generation X and Generation Y to creative, meaningful work makes his ideas timely. His practical steps mix the mundane and the visionary, and his enthusiasm sweeps aside skepticism with breezy aphorisms. Although the author may have pointed the way, much trial-and-error experimentation awaits anyone working to make Garcia's vision a reality.
