Finding Excellence: A Practical Guide to Fostering Goodwill Dissent & Human Flourishing at Work

Finding Excellence: A Practical Guide to Fostering Goodwill Dissent & Human Flourishing at Work

By Dr. Gorden Simango

The book discusses concepts of constructive workplace dissent, psychological safety and joy at work. These concepts are supported by real workplace voices from Christian leaders who are trailblazing transformational leadership in their lives. Certain parts of the book use illustrations to emphasize key concepts covered herein.


There is frequently a gap between the need for feedback and how to foster it constructively. Ideas make organizations thrive, but employees are frequently unable to communicate these ideas in ways that the leadership finds palatable. Management and leadership need to acquire the requisite skills to facilitate the entrenchment of constructive workplace criticism in their organizational cultures.


The book proposes an EHIP framework leadership model for flourishing employee talents, whilst uncovering issues of Emotional well-being, Goodwill dissent and Human flourishing (EGH) in the workplace. Leadership models such as calling-based leadership, incarnational leadership, contextual leadership, shalom leadership, servant leadership, appreciative inquiry, and assets-based community development are covered, all anchored in the biblical verse Philippians 4: 8 - 9.
