* Creating Authentic Organizations - Bringing Meaning and Engagement Back to Work, Kogan Page (October 2014) by Robin Ryde qnd Lisa Sofianos
Our identity is often bound up what we do at work. The work we do goes some way to describing who we are, what we stand for and it reveals, in one dimension at least, a tangible and valued contribution that we make to the world. Authenticity in organizations matters more than ever.
In today's complex and global economy we can empower employees to bring their authentic selves to work. Doing so leads to increased innovation, productivity, more thoughtful risk-taking, a sense of responsibility and enhanced adaptiveness to change. Creating Authentic Organizations goes beyond the remit of authentic leadership and shows how the concept of authenticity can and should be applied to organizations. It offers a new management framework based on the freedom to operate, meaningful dialogue and a deep search for personal meaning at work; autonomy and the opportunity to make an impact is a key driver of productivity.
With simple and powerful models and strategies to bring about workplace authenticity, the approach shows how to create authentic dialogue and encourage open and meaningful discussion around threats and challenges. It suggests tools to bridge the gap between the corporate persona and the authentic self, leading to greater employee engagement, well-being and organizational resilience.
