Publisher's Synopsis
This book is about MOTIVATION!
Motivation is your ability to energize the invisible driving force in others that influences their behavior, improves their performance, and unleashes their potential. This book is for everyone in the workforce who reports to another person for their work assignments, including employees working for an employer and small business owners, entrepreneurs, and the self-employed working for customers, clients, or patients.Simply stated, this book is for you regardless of your occupation, position, or level of authority.You may not realize that Motivation is one the most powerful and underrated transferrable skills in business today. If you fail to demonstrate appreciation, recognition, encouragement, active listening, empathy, moral courage, respect, kindness, emotional intelligence, assertiveness, a sensitivity to others, or resilience, your effectiveness and success will elude you. Without these abilities, you'll be wasting your career sitting on the sidelines, watching others move ahead while wondering why? I speak from 24 years as a US Army Officer and 20 years as an Executive Coach in Corporate America in Seattle, San Diego, Kansas City, and Phoenix. As an Executive Coach, I was blessed to work with some of America's most successful men and women, including hundreds of business executives, teams, and small business owners. I documented what they said, did, how they did it, what worked and what didn't. But, most importantly, I documented how they made people feel. As a result, I learned that the most effective and successful people stood out because they were able to do these two things better than anyone else:- To consistently produce excellent results.
- To add greater value to those who helped produce those results, especially your boss.
- To treat everyone with dignity and respect, no matter what.
You may be the top producer, but if you haven't added value to those who helped you achieve your results or haven't treated everyone with dignity and respect, no matter what, you'll never become effective or successful.
