To reach a high level of success, organizations must build a Magnetic Culture. Through this book, Mr. Sheridan describes how to draw talented employees to the workplace, empower them, and sustain an environment in which they are more likely to stay.

Using case studies to get people involved

Writing a book is about telling a great story. That’s why we used case studies and interviews to make points throughout the writing process. When we approached Ochsner Health System, they told us about one of their most engaged employees, and it’s one of our favorite stories in the book. Miss Betty found out she was part of our book at a company event where she was honored for her dedication. The sign shown in the photo includes a passage from the book that describes her work ethic and positive attitude. It’s displayed near the hospital entrance for all to see. This was a win-win-win: Miss Betty gets the recognition she deserves, Ochsner shows support for their staff, and Building a Magnetic Culture gains an even bigger audience.What people are saying:
