Local Businesswoman Co-authors Bestselling Book
Lisa Giruzzi, owner of the local consulting firm, Transformational Conversations and co-founder of the Creating WE Institute, co-authored the book 42 Rules for Creating WE: A hands-on, practical approach to organizational development, change and leadership best practices released on Amazon.com September 17, 2009 (Superstar Press, September 2009). The book ranked number one in four business categories (Leadership, Management & Organizational Behavior, Team Building and Motivation) as well as reaching number 70 in the overall category. To achieve “bestseller” status on Amazon.com a book must be ranked in the top 100 books sold that day. “I am proud and honored to be a part of this amazing group of people dedicated to developing new forms of engagement and innovation in the workplace,” Giruzzi commented. Nineteen members of The Creating WE Institute, (www.CreatingWEInstitute.com) made up of critical thinkers, consultants, scientists and coaches with multi-disciplinary expertise and decades of experience, worked together to produce this amazing new book. “The workplace is where most people spend the majority of their time yet it is often the place where people feel the least control. This book is for anyone who wants to have a better experience at work,” noted Giruzzi. 42 Rules for Creating WE lays out exactly what you need to do transform the workplace from the traditional “I-centric” approach to a “WE-Centric one. This shift causes whole new possibilities in every area of business including communication, performance, satisfaction, effectiveness and many more. For example, having difficult conversations is often avoided for fear of the consequences. This book shows you how to have conversations in ways that strengthen rather than erode relationships – from delivering the truth to having the courage to trump adversity and fear with new perspectives. Candid, transparent and co-creating conversations are especially important today, as business leaders struggle to tackle what may appear to be insurmountable challenges. When we’re in crisis, people often fear speaking up, and avoid having difficult and emotional conversations. These moments – when an organization’s culture, leadership, and brand integrity are at a high risk of eroding – are our most important teaching moments. Lisa Giruzzi stated, “In this type of economy, defensiveness and fear can run rampant. There is no better time then now to create a “WE-centric” environment. It fosters the development of talent and creates connection between people. A “WE-centric” environment allows everyone to thrive which impacts the businesses ability to thrive.” Angela Ahrendts, CEO of Burberry, who wrote the Foreward for the book stated, “It took Napoleon Hill nearly 25 years to write his legendary guidebook for individual success, 'Think and Grow Rich.' Judith E. Glaser and her Creating WE Institute colleagues have written today's greatest guide for team success, and it will soon be read by 6,200 Burberry employees worldwide. This exceptional guidebook has arrived at the perfect time to help lead Burberry and myself even further toward achieving our dreams.” The book is available online at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and other bookstores worldwide.
