Why It Matters book

Getting to Know Your Employees 

In today’s business world, organizations go to great measures to learn about their employees – through the application and recruitment process, personality tests, team-building exercises and in-depth surveys. Employers hope these tools can help them determine how an employee interacts within teams, how they learn best, what type of work environment helps them to thrive and much, much more. But does all this exploration lead to really knowing what drives their employees? Do employers understand the ‘why’ behind their employees’ behaviors, their passion, their motivations?

This is the subject of the book, “Why it Matters? The Sherpa Guide to What You Are Looking For.” The book takes readers on a journey of self discovery to find their purpose, their “why it matters.”

Knowing “why it matters” truly helps people in their careers by:

• Finding ones blind spots, to reign in career-limiting behaviors
• Driving emotional intelligence and self awareness
• Increasing metacognition – the ability to stop and think about behaviors

This self-monitoring helps ensure behaviors impact an organization for the positive – increasing productivity for the organization and harnessing the passion and inspiration of the employees.

The book includes workbook-style exercises and a varied collection of examples from people from all walks of life and work backgrounds.
