People Artists at Work

People Artists Draw Out the Best at Work

Reading time = 55 seconds

People Artists: Drawing Out the Best in Others at Work will be released this October. I encourage you to think about what it would mean for you to be a People Artist. By this, I mean someone who brings an artistic sense to how they lead, manage, and work with others. Henry Mintzberg demonstrated the importance of art, science, and craft in management. In our time of unbounded enthusiasm for analytics and the science of work, let’s not ignore the art of managing.

And don’t tell me you are not an artist.

Everyone can be, and already is, an artist. Perhaps you need some encouragement, inspiration, and education to be a better People Artist. Peter and I would love to show you the way and in the interim we encourage you to take initial steps to bring out the best in others at work.

Just start. Once you embark down this path, People Artists can act as a guidebook and toolkit to take you further on the journey. If you want to know more before the October launch, I invite you to get in touch with me.

David Zinger is an employee engagement speaker and expert who believes in the power of People Artistry to enhance and enliven our employee engagement and employee recognition work.

Draw out the best in someone before we reach August.

Peter W. Hart — People Artists Draw Out the Best in Others

People Artists draw out the best in others. I think sometimes we can make this too big, too complex, and too unwieldy. I am writing this at 8:47 AM on the last day of July. If you read this before August hits I encourage you to engage in one small action to bring out the best in another person at work.

Be an ARTIST. Don’t follow a script. Don’t paint by numbers. Just say something or do something that you think can bring out the best in another person and see what happens.

For my friends and readers in London, Singapore, Pune, and other great locations around the world, you might not read this until August but I won’t let you off of the hook, I challenge you to do this in the first hour you get back to work in August (By the way, I would love to hear what you did and what the impact was on both the other person at work and yourself).

If you are interested in purchasing People Artists as soon as it is published (before the official launch) email me (david@davidzinger.com) and I will put you on the growing list.

David Zinger is an employee engagement expert and speaker. Peter W. Hart and David Zinger wrote People Artists: Bringing Out the Best In Others at Work. The book will be launched in October but you can start now and learn a whole lot in October when the book is formally released.
