A fun and easy-to-read practical guide for leaders and employees on how to diagnose, prevent, and cure a particularly serious and costly problem across industries and sectors: engagement malnutrition. Run and grab a copy – read, laugh, and learn – before the zombie apocalypse hits and the vaccine is sold out or no longer works.
