About this product
Product Information
Top leadership researcher, consultant, and coach Susan Fowler says stop trying to motivate people! It's frustrating for everyone involved and it just doesn't work. You can't motivate people--they are already motivated but generally in superficial and short-term ways. In this book, Fowler builds upon the latest scientific research on the nature of human motivation to lay out a tested model and course of action that will help leaders guide their people toward the kind of motivation that not only increases productivity and engagement but that gives them a profound sense of purpose and fulfillment. Fowler argues that leaders still depend on traditional carrot-and-stick techniques because they haven't understood their alternatives and don't know what skills are necessary to apply the new science of motivation. Her Optimal Motivation process shows leaders how to move people away from dependence on external rewards and help them discover how their jobs can meet the deeper psychological needs--for autonomy, relatedness, and competence--that science tells us result in meaningful and sustainable motivation. Optimal Motivation has been proven in organizations all over the world--Fowler's clients include Microsoft, CVS, NASA, the Catholic Leadership Institute, H&R Block, Mattel, and dozens more. Throughout the book, she illustrates how each step of the process works using real-life examples. Susan Fowler 's book is the groundbreaking answer for leaders who want to get motivation right!

Reviews
"Everybody wants to be motivated--being bored and alienated is no fun. Fowler shows how to guide employees toward seeing their jobs in a new way, as potential sources of personal fulfillment. Achieving company goals will become something they own, because now it really matters to them." --Marshall Goldsmith author of the New York Times and global bestseller What Got You Here Won't Get You There In this fascinating book, Susan Fowler shows why you should stop feeding your employees the emotional junk food of ineffective, short-term rewards; and how you can transition your leadership style to produce an optimal motivational outlook." --Steve Davis, Executive Vice President, CenturyLink "A compelling reminder that leadership is a skill that can be mastered only by capturing the hearts and minds of the people you lead. The question is not if your people are motivated but why. Susan Fowler presents a new paradigm of motivation, a plain and simple alternative that is long overdue." --Lori Lorenz, Senior Director, Marketing, Hewlett-Packard "So now you are a leader and you think you need to 'motivate the troops'? Think again. Instead, it may be time to educate yourself on the principles of motivation. Susan's book prescribes what to do next!" --Kevin Nohelty, Vice President, US Supply Chain, WD-40 Company "Susan has taught managers and human resources professionals in AkzoNobel how to use the skill of activating optimal motivation for themselves and with others as the way to improve employee engagement. We were all inspired! I'm convinced that this book will generate a ripple effect on many more people." --Eline Lenselink, Global HR Manager, AkzoNobel, The Netherlands "This book gives me hope. We don't have to keep pushing for results at the expense of our people's health and well-being. It turns out, the way to results is through a workplace where people thrive. Susan's book shows you how to create it." --Paul Donin, Executive Director, Restorative Justice Program, BC, Canada
