You can learn to significantly increase employee motivation within just a few weeks. It's no secret, great leaders are motivators and experts at team building. They know not just how to motivate individuals, they have also mastered the skill of motivating teams and groups of people leading to superior team performance. Written for busy managers and drawing on the latest research, 28 Days to a Motivated Team provides leaders with a step-by-step guide for how to increase both individual and team motivation. Over a 4-week period, managers are led on a journey of discovery, self-reflection and environment creation that will support team motivation. Managers who are able to help employees increase employee motivation also increase employee engagement leading to greater job performance. While a manager cannot directly instill motivation in a person, 28 Days to a Motivated Team will help you better understand how each employee's natural motivation and drive can be unleashed, creating greater satisfaction and vitality in work and life. Utilizing the most contemporary motivation science available, Jones shares the key factors that set the stage for the ultimate state of mind, motivation. Motivation doesn't happen by accident, it is a process of intentional behaviors on the part of the manager that creates an environment that supports the natural motivation that each person already has within them. Readers will learn: -What really motivates people in a team environment -The 4 motivation styles used over the past 5000 years -The 3 questions that determines team motivation -The 5 proven factors that support or hinder individual and team motivation -How to facilitate great team meetings -Dozens of tips for how to be a better team leader and manager -Daily tips for motivating at the individual and team level -Access to the Team Motivation Assessment and The Motivating Manager Planner Most managers and leaders believe that combining a group of motivated people will automatically produce a motivated team that will collaborate effectively and achieve team goals. "This is far from the truth" says Dr. Jason Jones. In his straight to the point book, 28 Days to a Motivated Team, Jones explains why, in a team setting, it is so important for a manager to build an environment that supports motivation at an individual level and a team level. Team building starts with understanding each person's needs and motivators and then building a plan to connect each person's work and environment. Dr. Jones asserts 3 key questions every person asks when involved in a team environment and when the person's success is dependent upon other team members. The perception of each team member, related to these questions, will determine the person's level of energy and focus for the team's goals. 28 Day to a Motivated team is not just a set of ideas or tips, it is a 4 week program that will help you kick-start your team to increase employee motivation, employee engagement, and significantly increase performance.

What really sets the best managers above the rest? It’s their power to build a cadre of employees who have great inner work lives—consistently positive emotions; strong motivation; and favorable perceptions of the organization, their work, and their colleagues. The worst managers undermine inner work life, often unwittingly. As Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer explain in The Progress Principle, seemingly mundane workday events can make or break employees’ inner work lives. But it’s forward momentum in meaningful work—progress—that creates the best inner work lives. Through rigorous analysis of nearly 12,000 diary entries provided by 238 employees in 7 companies, the authors explain how managers can foster progress and enhance inner work life every day. The book shows how to remove obstacles to progress, including meaningless tasks and toxic relationships. It also explains how to activate two forces that enable progress: (1) catalysts—events that directly facilitate project work, such as clear goals and autonomy—and (2) nourishers—interpersonal events that uplift workers, including encouragement and demonstrations of respect and collegiality. Brimming with honest examples from the companies studied, The Progress Principle equips aspiring and seasoned leaders alike with the insights they need to maximize their people’s performance.

The New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm-shattering new way to think about motivation from the author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.

Do you know what motivates your employees? According to a recent survey, money is not the most motivating factor for employees in the workplace — it’s their peers. Is that the case for your staff? In this newly revised edition of 365 Ways to Motivate and Reward Your Employees Every Day — With Little or No Money, we have new surveys, techniques, and ideas that will help you figure out how to motivate your employees. In this second edition, we discuss the different motivators — internal and external — that get your employees up and going every day. A recent study from the Society of Human Resource Management found that both materialistic and non-materialistic factors play a large part in employee motivation. Things like recognition, rewards, and a good, respectful senior management team are just a few of the recommendations you will read about. By book’s end, you should know how to distinguish between those factors and apply them when your employees feel a little more sluggish than usual. Do not be the norm and force your employees into an activity or program that does not match your workplace environment. Take the time to figure out what motivates your employees and why, and make sure to pay close attention to the new ideas about incorporating technology into your workplace. This book is filled with updated information and innovative ideas that can help you figure out how to motivate your employees successfully today.

Serving on the frontlines of pandemic response is enough pressure to cause any size business to buckle, but the small firm thrived and even doubled in size to complete their manufacturing scale-up known as Project V: seven months of work in six weeks.
