"Hutson and Perry articulate clearly and succinctly the message of hope. Their five principles ... not only frame how to gain hope, but show that it can deliver enormous value to people, teams, and organizations..."

Putting Hope To Work
Hutson and Perry draw upon their many years of research and management consulting, to present a pragmatic approach to identifying, supporting, and sustaining "hope" and channeling it toward productive ends to create more vibrant, creative, collaborative — and successful — workplaces. Integrating insights from fields as diverse as anthropology, psychology, philosophy, and biology, Hutson and Perry identify the five key principles of hope — possibility, agency, worth, openness, and connection — and demonstrate how they can be developed in any type of organization. Featuring dozens of in-depth examples and personal experiences from a wide variety of organizations, as well as tools for applying hope toward effective leadership, decision making, problem solving, and communication, the authors offer a multi-dimensional approach to management that is both inspiring and practical, tapping into a universal desire to produce work that is as meaningful as it is profitable.
