Recommendation

Consultant Andrew Freedman’s bestseller offers a useful overview of organizational leadership, change and innovation. Writing with fellow consultant Paul Elliott, Freedman explains how to help your company increase engagement, motivation and productivity. The book’s “Exemplary Performance System” delves into six corporate areas or “subsystems”: Improving the culture in your workplace, providing useful feedback, offering equitable rewards, making sure each person is a good fit for his or her job, upgrading skills and motivating your employees. The authors also cover managing change – which may well be necessary to accomplish these sweeping goals.  

Take-Aways

  • Work through six crucial areas to enhance motivation and engagement: culture, feedback, rewards, job fit, upgraded skills and motivation.
  • 1. Improving the culture – “Environments, systems and resources” must work together to drive successful change.
  • 2. Providing feedback – Give “Constructive, Reinforcing, Essential and Developmental” (CRED) feedback.
