Publisher's summary

The fictional Admiral Janitorial Services has a problem: employees are leaving in droves, and they don't know what to do about it. Interpreting a series of employee surveys, the general manager comes up with a solution that walks the "thin line between genius and madness": hire a "dream manager", part life coach and part financial adviser, to help employees achieve their dreams.

For example, one woman dreams of buying her first home, while one man hopes to find more time to spend with his family. In an unexpected twist, the dream manager even helps employees find new jobs when they no longer have room to grow in their current ones.

In The Dream Manager, best-selling author Matthew Kelly teaches employers how to bridge the gap between their employees' current jobs and the futures they dream of, making them happier and more loyal to the company. Complete with a section on tools to get you going, this inspiring audiobook teaches an important lesson about self-fulfillment that applies both to the workplace and to life outside of it.

Life changing

Though the story is fictional knowing it is based on many real stories of successful dreaming and how it can transform lives. We live in a world where we have traded dreams for fantasy and accomplish nothing. Trade responsibility for entitlement and remain imprisoned in hopelessness. An eye opener for personal freedom in a book aimed at business.
Thank you Matthew Kelly.

Amazing book.

Thank you for your insight to go where most people don't, dreaming. So many people don't know how to see dreams come to fruition and you gave people a method to make it happen. Love the story format and the process & details at the end! Great book! Recommending it to friends & colleagues!

Short parable to redesign your business

This was a interesting book to listen to. It was short and easy to follow. It covers a new paradigm of how to drive business based on the needs, and more importantly dreams of the employees that will help turn a business around. It presents a model of getting people engaged again again rather than just showing up and taking up space.

I particularly enjoyed the actual interview at the end of the book with the author. I probably should have listened to it 1st in order to hear the author's voice through the rest of the performance, which was a good performance and easy to listen to. I look forward to hearing more about businesses that are implementing the dream manager approach to driving their businesses in a world where businesses need employees to be fully engaged.
