Dr. Paul White PhD is a psychologist and author of the best-selling book, ‘The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace’. His mission is to improve workplace relationships by learning our coworkers’ language of appreciation. Dr White’s book has sold more than 500,000 copies and is co-written with Gary Chapman, author of the hugely popular book 'The 5 Love Languages'. This conversation is so important as one question I am hearing repeatedly from frustrated leaders is "How do I get the most out of my people?” and with the Gallup research showing 8.5 out of every 10 workers consider themselves disengaged in their work this is an critical conversation.
