Summary
At its core, Hope at Work presents hope as a leadership practice. The book introduces five interdependent principles-Possibility, Agency, Worth, Openness, and Connection-that together form a framework for action. When these principles are present, organizations do not simply feel better; they perform better.
Through real-world stories, Perry and Hutson show how hope becomes operational when grounded in respect for human worth and collective action. Hope enables honest engagement with reality while keeping people moving forward-even under radical uncertainty and extraordinary pressure.
"In a world being rapidly shaped by AI and uncertainty, Hope at Work offers the human grounding leaders desperately need to build organizations where people can still see-and shape-a better future."
-JOHN WINSOR, Open Assembly and Harvard Business School
