Death of the Company: The Best Exit Interview That Was Never Had (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781984190796)

Death of the Company is a hilarious, yet disheartening, true story about the results of ignoring one of the most important business variables of all - the employee. It illustrates how leaders can have all the necessary resources at their disposal for guaranteed success but still manage to self-destruct by neglecting the needs of others. The author, J. D. Allen, addresses failure from the viewpoint of a bottom level employee at the frontline of daily operations and reveals coveted secrets of why good employees choose to leave. Utilizing Dr. Abraham H. Maslow's famous Hierarchy of Needs theory as a guideline, questions are answered regarding human motivation, personal priorities and leadership faux pas. Why do some people hate their job while others love it? What do people need in order to perform to the best of their abilities? What needs are being ignored? Who is ignoring them? Death of the Company is a perfect example of what NOT to do. This "how to" in reverse is for leaders of all types who wish to maximize their human resources (literally) and turn a B-level team into an A+ productivity force to be reckoned with. As for those who are unable to leave a toxic work environment, a bonus section helps determine if you work for a certifiable jerk and provides essential tips on how to survive an office from hell.
