Recommendation

Consultants Neel Doshi and Lindsay McGregor bring together just about everything worthwhile about employee engagement, motivation and workplace performance. They offer data and evidence to support each claim and piece of advice. Their entertaining case studies inform readers throughout, illustrating the three essential “direct motivators” that every company should use to build long-term success and the three “indirect motivators” that lead to lower performance. Though this manual can be repetitive, getAbstract recommends it highly. For leaders at every level, HR professionals, compensation executives, consultants, entrepreneurs and students, this could be today’s best work about motivating performance.

Take-Aways

  • Six prime motivators drive human behavior.
  • Three “direct motivators” generate high performance. Three “indirect motivators” diminish performance.
  • Organizations mainly use indirect, coercive, “carrots and sticks” motivators. Few master the direct motivators: “play, purpose and potential.”
