Description
Your team signed one contract. They’re holding you to another one — and most leaders never know it exists.
Every workplace runs on two contracts. The first is the one in the offer letter: job description, salary, KPIs. The second is invisible — yet it drives culture, engagement, psychological safety, retention, and trust.
Drawing on four decades as a consultant, CHRO, and CEO, Philip C. Curran exposes the leadership myth that strategy, execution, and communication are enough. They aren’t. Even high-performing managers lose their best people when they focus on managing work instead of leading humans.
The Hidden Emotional Contract reveals the eight universal promises that shape employee experience — the real drivers of motivation, loyalty, and high-performance culture.
