A large body of research has shown that maintaining a Flow-promoting workplace is a win-win proposition for owners, managers, as well as for the workforce, irrespective of whether the organization is a business, a government agency, or an NGO.
The mission of the online game FLIGBY, and also the objective of this book, is to identify, measure, and help develop leadership skills that, if applied, would help create a Flow-promoting work environment.
The overarching purpose of the book “Missing Link Discovered” is to describe, discuss, and analyze an entrepreneurial innovation: an attempt by a group of extraordinarily creative individuals to transplant Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s widely-known Theory of Flow into a teaching and research tool which will illuminate and enhance effective managerial and leadership practice.
The “missing link discovered”, referred to in the title of the book, is the global-award-winning serious management game called FLIGBY. Referring to this innovative Game, Csikszentmihalyi, in his essay that follows, professes that FLIGBY “is a bridge between my lifetime of scientific work and aspiring and practicing managers and leaders who are interested in my ideas but are not sure how to apply them in everyday practice.”
Part I of the book discusses the science and value propositions of Flow, how leadership and Flow are linked, gives many examples of Flow-promoting leadership practices, and introduces a new method for systematically measuring the skill-levels of those who complete FLIGBY.
Part II is all about FLIGBY: its plot, the Game’s objectives and features, the assumptions and methods employed in its construction, and its wide range of its uses in teaching, training and research.
Part III introduces the reader to the authors’ planned global Leadership and Flow research program. The research initiative, which is just beginning, is an open invitation to academics from various disciplines and to managers and leaders of organizations, to join us in an endeavor to advance the science and practice of effective leadership.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Success of the Noosphere is Discoverable!
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2017
Seldom have I encountered a text that can layout a well-tested and well-evidenced approach to transforming not only an organizational culture, but also the underlying foundational organizational, team, and individual leadership traits and processes. Marer, Buzady and Vecsey masterfully weave a narrative with deep descriptive insights about a revolutionary serious game/simulation, FLIGBY (“FLOW is Good Business for You").

The corpus is superbly structured, with an exceptionally useful Table of Contents worth more than most indices. The reader will discover a simple Leadership Responsibility Framework, (based upon a previous text, Good), that extends the concept of leadership, (and thus the messages and practices of Flow-promoting management/leadership) as it relates to Individuals, Teams, and Organizations. Don’t hesitate to invest in this unique and merging framework for increasing happiness in the workplace through FLOW.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good toolkit for implementing flow into management and everyday life
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2016
Would you like to know how to implement flow into your leadership role or just want to utilize flow in your job? This book gives great tools into your hand and even more. I got to know about FLIGBY - an online leadership development simulation - through this book. Reading this book and playing the simulation helped me to identify which skills I do have to strengthen in order to become not just a better manager but also how I can reshape my everyday life in order to experience flow more frequently.
