Description
Leadership researcher and coach Susan Fowler argues that overtly trying to motivate employees can be frustrating for everyone involved and doesn't work in the long term. Instead, she suggests that helping people learn to motivate themselves is a more effective approach. This second edition of her book explores how to foster personal excellence and increase productivity and engagement. Fowler draws on the Self-Determination Theory to show the positive effects of optimal motivation on people's vitality, productivity, and creativity. She also shares compelling examples and anecdotal evidence from applying her techniques in organizations and with individuals worldwide. With a new chapter on remote and hybrid work, this updated edition provides practical guidance for leaders looking to create a more self-motivated and engaged workforce. By getting out of the way and encouraging their people to self-motivate, leaders can unlock their full potential and create a positive and productive work environment.
