Hope at Work: 5 Principles to Breathe Life into Your Organization is a timely, evidence-based leadership book that establishes hope as a practical force in organizational life. Drawing on three decades of consulting and research, it speaks directly to leaders navigating rising demands for meaning, trust, and performance at work. At its core, Hope at Work presents hope as a leadership practice. The book introduces five interdependent principles-Possibility, Agency, Worth, Openness, and Connection-that together form a framework for action. When these principles are present, organizations do not simply feel better; they perform better. Through real-world stories, Perry and Hutson show how hope becomes operational when grounded in respect for human worth and collective action. Hope enables honest engagement with reality while keeping people moving forward-even under radical uncertainty and extraordinary pressure. "In Hope at Work, Barbara Perry and Harry Hutson offer organizations a gift we urgently need: a framework for turning hope from sentiment into a shared capability-a disciplined, collective practice that fuels belonging, resilience, and meaningful progress." JERRY COLONNA, Author of Reboot and Reunion "I love this book. It is beautiful and written in a way that translates years of observation, research and stories about hope in the workplace into something interesting, provocative, usable and potentially powerful." EDNA MORRIS, Board Chair, Tractor Supply Company "In a world being rapidly shaped by AI and uncertainty, Hope at Work offers the human grounding leaders desperately need to build organizations where people can still see-and shape-a better future." -JOHN WINSOR, Open Assembly and Harvard Business School
