This book outlines skills and behaviors for managers to adopt when offering second chance opportunities, providing the resources needed to reclaim, restore, and redirect current employees with great potential but who demonstrate terminal conduct. Based on qualitative research, it analyses incidents of successful reinstatement and improved performance by employees previously discharged for cause, citing cases that highlight the benefits of choosing to offer redemption and give employees second chances.
Organizational pressure to hire and retain near-perfect employees is higher than ever, yet little research has been conducted assessing the impact of the manager's leadership behavior. This book fills that gap and provides seminal reading for faith-oriented students, scholars, managers, and human resources professionals, particularly focused on religious and secular leadership, to help foster a nurturing and redemptive environment.
