A New Book by Mia Russell and Girvin Liggans, "Fired Up! A Guide to Transforming Your Team from Burnout to Engagement,” Can Help You Create a Culture of Engagement

Bowie, MD, August 29, 2022 --(PR.com)-- "Fired Up! A Guide to Transforming Your Team from Burnout to Engagement” offers compelling data, relevant stories, and timely strategies to make the case for cultivating a culture of engagement in the workplace.

“Burnout is an organizational problem that we are positioning leaders and managers to address. As we navigate the Great Resignation and employees rethink how they want to live and work, the smart and accessible principles in this book will empower leaders to take action and drive positive change,” said Mia Russell, co-author of Fired Up! and lecturer in the Center for Leadership Education at Johns Hopkins University. Girvin Liggans, Fired Up! co-author, further explained that, “Disentangling the complex relationships within the work environment using the Organization, Job, and Personal Framework will help leaders create a climate of trust, respect and fairness. Only then can leaders truly understand and identify strategies that will improve the energy, involvement, and energy within their team.”

Russell and Liggans assert that individuals deserve to work in environments, built upon purpose, autonomy, and mastery that span the individual, team, and organization. Grounded in theory and practice, Russell and Liggans share a framework to compartmentalize the work environment and tools to help leaders build an action plan for their team to avoid, overcome, and recover from burnout.

The book’s use of research on burnout and engagement has been well received and awarded high praise from leading industry experts. Daniel Pink, a #1 New York Time Bestselling Author of "The Power of Regret, When, & To Sell is Human," said of the book, “Fired Up! is a smart and accessible work that provides an effective framework that can help leaders address burnout within their teams and organizations. In the wake of the Great Resignation, this book could not be more timely.” And, Paul White, best-selling author of The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace, said “Russell and Liggans provide a principle-based approach to leadership that delineates the factors which lead to the exhaustion and reduced effectiveness created by burnout. While thoroughly evidence-based, practical steps are given to move team members from burnout to active engagement. Fired Up! is a foundational resource every leader will highly value."
