The Vibrant Organisation: The Science of Scaling Enthusiasm to Transform Performance

The Vibrant Organisation translates the science of human behaviour into a playbook of highly practical interventions that build and scale enthusiasm, transforming organisational culture and performance. The book helps create more joy and fulfilment at work, whilst also steering a path to sustained competitive advantage.

Using cutting-edge research in neuroscience and psychology, as well as the author’s considerable practical experience, Duncan Wardley offers a three-part framework for building teams of agile, adaptable, curious, and highly motivated people:

• Reset shows how to reduce the threat response by creating a safe environment for employees
• Ignite teaches leaders how to create events or experiences that create flashes of insight and motivation
• Fuel demonstrates how to sustain people’s motivation through repeatable actions, resulting in an upward spiral of enthusiasm.

Packed with fascinating research, on-the-ground stories, and new scientific findings - along with practical tools and exercises - The Vibrant Organisation is a must read for business leaders at all levels looking to get the best out of themselves and their people.
