But leaders aren't born with all these abilities. They may have natural talents, of course, but they succeed by developing what they've got. If you want to be a better leader, this book can help you develop those abilities. We all need to get someone to do something at some time. This book starts with the premise that we cannot motivate others.
Motivation comes from within.
But we can affect what a person might be motivated to do and that's the focus of this book. It covers everything from channeling motivation for peak performance to ways to avoid being the worst boss of the year. In 15 lessons, readers learn about why teams are important in organizations today and how to successfully implement teams, including teamwork values, types of teams, team leadership, team meetings, team decision making, self-directed teams, dealing with team problems, and more. A compact but complete guide to using teams in any organization, featuring ideas, techniques, and procedures for helping team members collaborate in ways that lower costs and improve quality. For each project, CWL identified and contracted with the author and developed the manuscript.
