Overview
From Breakdown to Breakthrough: Build a Culture Where People—and Performance—Thrive
When HR leader Peter Johnson steps into a failing manufacturing plant, he’s met with more than low output and high turnover—he inherits a culture in crisis. In Mediocre to Meaningful, Benjamin Douglas crafts a business parable rooted in his real-world experience transforming organizations through strategy, accountability, and trust.
As Peter navigates resistance, rebuilds morale, and inspires change, readers gain a blueprint for meaningful transformation at every level of business.
You’ll learn how to:
- Empower employees to solve problems at the source
- Build a culture of peer-driven accountability
- Use meaningful metrics to measure what really matters
- Shift from compliance to commitment through transparency
- Lead with intention—even during uncertainty
A must-read for leaders in operations, HR, or change management, Mediocre to Meaningful equips you with practical tools to elevate performance and workplace culture at the same time.
