Imagine a company where people love coming to work and are highly productive on a daily basis. Imagine a company whose top executives, in a quest to create the most 'fun' workplace ever, obliterate labor-management divisions and push decision-making responsibility down to the plant floor.

Well, imagine no more. In Joy at Work, Dennis W. Bakke tells the true story of the extraordinary, multibillion dollar energy giant AES. He explains how, as its co-founder and longtime CEO, he challenged the business establishment with revolutionary ideas that could remake America’s organizations.

Joy at Work offers a model for the 21st-century company that treats its people with respect, gives them unprecedented responsibility, and holds them strictly accountable—because it’s the right thing to do, not just because it makes good business sense. More than any other book, Dennis Bakke’s Joy at Work will force readers to question everything they thought they knew about corporate success.
