Jen Fisher is here to change that—her book is full of actionable ideas for fighting burnout, restoring energy, and building hope.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of HIDDEN POTENTIAL and THINK AGAIN, and host of the podcast Re:Thinking A new approach for organizations to structure and support human flourishing in the workplace In Hope Is the Strategy: The Underrated Skill That Transforms Work, Leadership, and Wellbeing, bestselling author and leader in the corporate wellbeing movement Jen Fisher shows how the future of work demands a fundamentally new approach to how we think about, structure, and support human flourishing in the workplace.
