Hope is the Strategy: The Underrated Skill That Transforms Work, Leadership, and Wellbeing

Summary

In Hope Is the Strategy, 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.

Drawing on Fisher's personal experience with burnout and the resulting insights, her conversations with thought leaders across different industries, and the research, frameworks, and methodologies she put into place as one of the world's first Chief Wellbeing Officers, this book delivers exclusive insights to understand what needs to change in how we work and demonstrates how we will all benefit from this new paradigm. Fisher reveals how hope―not as wishful thinking but as a practical skill―provides the foundation for sustainable performance, meaningful innovation, and authentic leadership. In this book, listeners will learn about:

• Wellness programs that treat symptoms rather than causes
• Leadership practices that prioritize short-term performance over long-term sustainability
• Organizational systems that unintentionally create burnout while trying to prevent it
