Читать книгу 100 Ways to Motivate Others: How Great Leaders Can Produce Insane Results Without Driving People Crazy - Scott Richardson - Страница 4

The world of leadership has changed dramatically since the first edition of this book was written, and Scott Richardson and I have now revised and refreshed this organizational leadership guidebook to meet the times.

We have added 10 new ways to motivate others, bringing us into the modern world.

The book now includes fresh respect for the communication and rapid decision-making that the global community demands.

The importance of personal self-leadership and physical energy have been added to the solid leadership principles that made the first editions of this book so popular with leaders and managers of every kind of organization, from corporate, educational, and non-profit, to community groups and even families.

Motivating others requires a connection to people’s deep desires. It’s not just about loading them up with a lot of how-to information. Transformation is more important than information. Action is everything. A great motivator of others will value testing over trusting. She won’t waste time getting her people to trust change or trust the system – she will work on ways to test them.

Change in the workplace and the world is exponential now. It is no longer linear, predictable change. It is more like the absolutely unexpected, shocking change described so dramatically in Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s The Black Swan. Because of this, great motivators are now welcoming change and helping their people see all change as a creative opportunity.

Organizations are more vulnerable than ever to suddenly disappearing. They can become obsolete in a heartbeat. But rather than finding that frightening, one who masters motivating himself and others finds it exciting.

The new edition we have created for you addresses all these quantum shifts in organizational reality. It updates and upgrades your skills as a leader to motivate others to feel the same excitement you do about the global market and its opportunities. The 10 new ways to motivate others that we have added to this book are what work for us and our clients. They are not theory. And because they are not mere theory, we invite you to use them immediately, and see them as tools, not rules.
