Happy Work: How To Create A Culture Of Happiness
by Nick Webb
For over thirty years, I’ve been honored to serve some of the best brands in the world as a consultant and strategic advisor. During that time, I’ve seen highly respected CEOs, leaders, and managers launch, with the very best of intentions, “quality of work life” initiatives. These leaders rightly believed that happy employees were better employees, and they sought to make changes that would fulfill those conditions. Regrettably, despite their high expectations, these programs nearly always failed. The metrics they were designed to improve—productivity, employee engagement, and even company profitability—didn’t budge. It was as if nothing had been done.
My consulting firm, LeaderLogic, LLC has become something of an organizational hazmat team, tasked with cleaning up after yet another ineffective quality of work life initiative. But failure is the best teacher, and over time, based on my experience with these organizations, I’ve formulated powerful solutions that really work. The lessons I’ve learned are presented in the pages of this book. I’ll share with you how to avoid the common pitfalls and how to leverage new best practices that provide predictable, measurable returns on your happiness initiative. You will also discover the corollary between happy customers, sales growth, and innovation in the furtherance of happy employees.
I will share with you why you should avoid the vast survey industry, and how to get real insights about what your employees want and need in order to build a workplace that your competitors will envy. Your newly forged happiness initiative will attract and keep the best talent in your marketplace, drive the best innovations, build scalable and predictable revenue growth, and significantly improve the returns on your organizational strategies.
This book contains both deep research and thirty years of practical experience. It is my sincere hope that you will leverage these insights to avoid the common mistakes and enjoy the benefits of proven methods that deliver real results. If applied properly with the correct infrastructure and training, your organization will achieve some or all of the following benefits:
• Attract and keep the best talent in your market.
• Significant increases in employee productivity and presentism.
• Reduced workforce stress and healthcare costs.
• Improved returns on enterprise strategy.
• Major improvements in customer experience.
• Predictable and measurable increases in revenue.
• Improvements and cost reduction and efficiency.
• Predictable improvements and innovation.
We live in challenging times. All over the world, employees of companies large and small are questioning their career choices. Instead of taking their life path for granted and settling for what society offers them, many are asking, “Is this all there is? Why should I commute to a boring or distasteful job with little future, just to pay my mortgage? I want to do something that has meaning to me. I want to get up and go to work with a smile on my face.”
The Great Resignation served as a wake-up call. Today, the best companies have to compete for the best employees, and it’s not just about the size of the paycheck, it’s about performing meaningful work that creates value. I wrote this book to give every company—your company—a road map to relevance and competitiveness, and to help make "Happy Work" a reality.

The Healthcare Mandate: How to Leverage Disruptive Innovation to Heal America's Biggest Industry
by Nick Webb
A top healthcare futurist and consultant shows healthcare professionals and stakeholders how to redirect resources and leverage innovation to improve wellness and lower costs.
Despite being the wealthiest nation on earth, the United States spends much of its healthcare money and resources pursuing the wrong goal: curing people after they get sick. In this provocative book, Nicholas J. Webb charts a bold new path that puts the focus not on reactionary treatment but on anticipation and prevention. Webb argues that we have a unique opportunity to leverage disruptive innovation to fulfill these goals. Emerging digital technologies now make it possible to collect, analyze, and act upon the enormous quantities of health-related data that every individual generates every day. This data often foreshadows disease and can alert the healthcare provider to the existence of a life-threatening condition before there are any outward symptoms, thereby enabling caregivers to pivot from treatment after the fact to anticipation, prevention, and, when necessary, reduced treatment to correct a smaller problem.
This is The Healthcare Mandate--a powerful and illuminating guide to the new tools that healthcare professionals can start using right now to:
- See their clients not only as patients to be cured but as constituents to keep healthy.
- Identify and respond to emerging health problems as early as possible.
- Access and share constituent data with other healthcare providers.
- Navigate the increasingly complex world of patient data rights.
- Meet the challenge of non-medical online healthcare providers.
- Address constituent lifestyle choices that lead to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
- Respond to the increasing consumerization of healthcare.
Drawing upon his decades of experience as an industry expert with dozens of medical patents, Webb offers a positive and achievable vision for the future of healthcare.
The Innovation Mandate
by Nick Webb
In this constantly shifting world, companies must innovate if they want to survive. In clear language, The Innovation Mandate shows leaders a step-by-step process to continually generate great ideas, implement them, and maximize their value to benefit both customers and investors.
In today's ultra competitive marketplace, the difference between success and failure is innovation. From small entrepreneurial startups to global Fortune 500 companies, innovation--the steady flow of new ideas--drives sustained success. It allows a company to:
- Introduce new products and services
- Effectively connect with customers
- Sharpen the supply chain
- Efficiently manage finances
- Hire and retain the best people
Without a steady stream of new ideas, even the best company will slow down, atrophy, lose market share, hemorrhage customers, and eventually close or be sold.
The Innovation Mandate offers a clear and straightforward pathway to profitable innovation. It demystifies the concept, making it easy to understand, implement, and measure. The book centers around three simple concepts:
- Innovation generates profits;
- Innovation, in the form of new, profitable ideas, can come from anywhere
- Identifying, harnessing, evaluating, and implementing these new ideas cannot be left to chance
Additionally, the book offers a five-point checklist to ensure your company is innovation ready.

In this breakthrough book, world-renowned innovation strategist Nicholas J. Webb uncovers the secrets of the world's best innovators. And what he found is that there is a new phenomenon that he calls "Digital Innovation" which is sweeping the world.

He predicts that Digital Innovation will replace the term Open Innovation and that ultimately every successful organization in the world will hire a Chief Listening Officer (CLO).
- Demystifies the hyper-complex world of Digital Innovation
- Presents comprehensive case examples of how organizations both large and small have deployed Digital Innovation methodologies to grow both sales and profit
- Shows how organizations are using digital media, Web 2.0, and social media to connect to their customer communities and internal stakeholders alike
