About the research

Based on over 14 million employee survey responses across 70 countries–the most expansive engagement survey database of its kind–MAGIC combines principles of psychology and motivation with solid business concepts. Written by internationally recognized experts in leadership and employee engagement, Dr. Tracy Maylett and Dr. Paul Warner, MAGIC provides actionable advice that will reduce employee attrition, encourage initiative, drive growth and profit, and increase personal engagement.

About the book

Employees and leaders intuitively know that when we find a place where we can throw our hearts, spirits, minds, and hands into our work, we are happier, healthier, and produce better results. Yet, most struggle to understand exactly why we engage in some environments, and not in others. MAGIC introduces the five MAGIC keys of employee engagement–Meaning, Autonomy, Growth, Impact, and Connection–and shows how leaders can help employees achieve higher levels of engagement, as well as how employees can be more successful by taking ownership of their own MAGIC.
