Recommendation

Anne Bruce and James S. Pepitone have written a basic, hands-on book about motivating employees more effectively. They emphasize the need for your employees to become self-motivated, since only intrinsic motivation truly works. The book provides good, specific suggestions about ways to increase motivation. However, its core principles sound familiar - like material from an Organizational Behavior 101 textbook. Nonetheless, this book provides a good, easy-to-read summary of these fundamental ideas. getAbstract recommends this book to supervisors or managers who want to refresh their foundation in motivating employees, or to new managers who need to acquire this ability.

Take-Aways

  • You can only influence what people are motivated to do; you can’t motivate them yourself.
  • All motivation is intrinsic; it comes from within.
  • To influence people’s motivation, you have to discover why they do things; learn their reasons, purposes, and causes.
