The writers assert that in our highly-connected environment, it is all-too-easy to forget how significant 'internal work life' is to the progress of an organization: so does the other, when one goes down. Inner work life is defined by them as consisting of each employee's emotions, perceptions and motivations -- and show that leaders can not help but affect their subordinates' inner work lives on a daily basis.
The single question, they say, is what path that influence will take. They describe three essential 'influencers' of inner work life and demonstrate how supervisors can use them to cultivate productivity and well-being. The article is an adapted excerpt from the writers' novel, The Improvement Principle: Creativity, Productivity, as well as the Psychology of Regular Work Life (Harvard Business Review Press, 2011).
