Uncommon Wisdom at Work: Bolder Results. More Ease. A Wiser Way to Work and Live - Paperback

by Terrie Lupberger (Author)

Stop playing by the broken rules of work...there is a better way to have impact and success without sacrificing your well-being.

Work isn't working for most people and our workplaces have never been more challenging.

We inherited an old story about work that no longer serves us. It tells us success requires nonstop striving and proving, emotions are liabilities, worth is measured by output, scarcity is real, we're on our own, well-being is optional but stress is inevitable.

These stories are broken yet so deeply ingrained, we just believe that's the way things are-yet they quietly fuel stress, resignation, and dissatisfaction, and rob us of our potential. We wait...for the "right" boss, the "right" system, better circumstances, or better timing, giving away our agency and power while unknowingly contributing to our own suffering (and the suffering of those around us).

Meanwhile, the world has grown more complex. In today's post-truth world, where we can't even agree on the facts, much less collaborate across businesses, industries, or even countries, navigating the constantly shifting sands requires more than better processes or productivity hacks. It requires questioning the very rules of work, largely invisible to us, that we've taken for granted.

Uncommon Wisdom at Work does exactly that. It's a compact guide (intentionally so) packed with big ideas and practical applications. Distilling decades of global leadership experience, it gives you frameworks you can use immediately-whether you're leading a team, navigating your own career, or coaching others.
