A practical guide for leaders to stop using technology as a crutch and start building genuine connections with their teams - Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals. Back to Human explains how a more socially connected workforce creates greater fulfillment, productivity, and engagement while preventing burnout and turnover. Dan Schawbel, a New York Times bestselling author, guides the next generation of leaders to create a workplace where teammates feel genuinely connected, engaged, and empowered to grow strong interpersonal skills rather than relying on technology. Based on Schawbel's exclusive research studies--featuring perspectives of over 2,000 managers and employees across different countries--Back to Human reveals why electronic and virtual communication, though vital and useful, can contribute to a stronger sense of isolation at work.
