In this practical, provocative piece on motivation, you'll find a dilemma you can solve, a little theory, a set of skills you can learn and some guidance on how to shift your work team to "optimal motivation" using neither a carrot nor a stick. Motivational researcher and coach Susan Fowler illustrates her credo – "motivating people does not work because they are already motivated" – with personal storytelling and lots of examples. getAbstract recommends her manual to managers, team members, HR personnel, and anyone with an interest in the "motivation dilemma" and how to solve it.
