Description

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

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.
