If Carl Hiaasen set one of his novels on a residential stretch of boundary line between British Columbia and Washington, or if Richard Russo's characters had relatives in the Pacific Northwest, the result might be something like Jim Lynch's Border Songs. Continue »

Publisher Comments:

Drawing on the idea that people who are happy in their lives make the most loyal employees, bestselling author Matthew Kelly draws the connection between dream fulfillment and work satisfaction. Offering a revolutionary parable that goes beyond the work goals of pay raises and promotions, Kelly looks at the dreams that really matter to employees--real-life concerns like buying a house or affording college tuition--and poses an innovative solution for companies to help their employees fulfill theirs. The Dream Manager is a parable of a fictional company with a major turnover problem. Morale is low and employees are leaving the company quickly. When the general manager finally asks his employees why they are unhappy, the answer is simple: They need transportation to get to work, and they're not getting it. Once transportation is provided, turnover is cut in half. But the employees have more concerns. They want to own homes and learn English. They want to spend more time with their families and earn promotions. A dream manager is brought in to the company to help employees achieve these goals, and the company learns how satisfaction with work is linked to satisfaction outside of work. Matthew Kelly's previous books have been sold internationally and are million-copy bestsellers. Now he combines his natural storytelling ability with a keen understanding of the yearnings of the human heart, to help businesses enjoy the loyalty of satisfied, happy employees.
