Great Place to Work® Books

The Trustworthy Leader brings a fresh perspective to the executive leadership conversation, exploring how and why great leaders build and maintain a foundation of trust with employees and how that trust benefits the organization.  Through powerful stories and interviews with top executives, readers gain a new understanding of what it means to lead from those who run some of country's best workplaces, including General Mills, REI, Mayo Clinic, Wegmans, and more.

This seminal book explores the concept of a great workplace and answers the fundamental question: What is the business value of creating a great workplace?  The book provides practical tips for organization leaders and brings the definition of a great workplace alive with anecdotes, best practices and quotations from employees working at some of the world's best workplaces, including Google, Microsoft, Marriott International, FedEx, NetApp, Deloitte, and more.

To celebrate the Great Place to Work^® movement entering a new decade, the Institute in 2010 published a collection of articles relating to high-trust work environments written over the preceding quarter of a century. The essays are global in nature, with 20 authors offering perspectives from five different continents.

In his classic 1988 book, Great Place to Work^® Institute co-founder Robert Levering uses interviews and anecdotes from his early best employers research to show why trust between employees and management is the essential ingredient to creating a great workplace.
