We are excited to share that Fred & Judith’s 7th book has hit the bookshelves! The journey of change and higher performance is about the need to enable and support greater agency for individuals and teams. Agency ensures that people of all backgrounds, identities, tenure, and roles have the power and voice to make decisions and choices related to their jobs and the success of the organization. When people can exercise their agency, they feel greater ownership, not only for their area of responsibility but for the larger enterprise. They become the COO of their own jobs. Leaders' and managers’ roles shift to removing barriers and setting parameters to enable greater autonomy, trust, and collaboration.
A central premise of the book is that agency exists in all people. Agency cannot be bestowed or given; it needs to be unleashed. In this book, we discuss why agency is critical to creating a higher performance workplace that retains and leverages talent. It provides practical tools for leaders, teams, managers or supervisors, and individual contributors to unleash agency in their day-to-day interactions and roles. The book explores some of the common barriers and practices that block people's ability to exercise their agency. This book provides the next step in the evolution of inclusion in the workplace and what is needed to unleash the talent, skills, and contributions that all people possess in order to create higher organizational performance.
