THE SONG OF SIGNIFICANCE A New Manifesto for Teams

In this unusually organized broadside against the inhumanity of modern organizations, management guru Seth Godin narrates with slow and dramatic pacing that sounds arresting yet friendly. Without broad categories, he lists 144 diverse commitments that organizations and individuals can make to help them feel more engaged and creative at work. Brief musical interludes add color to the production, and there are brief quotes spoken by uncredited speakers (though one sounds like Leonard Bernstein). Informed by Godin's consulting experience and sensitivity to organizational trends, these are persuasive arguments aimed at hyperefficient businesses and workers who might be settling for insignificance at work. The stream-of-consciousness organization of these ideas is unorthodox, but Godin's passion gives it a unified and memorable purpose. T.W. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2023]
