Most managers believe that their employees are only motivated by money.
Employees, however, do not report that money is a top motivator for why they work. This difference of perspective is especially alarming given that those items that are considered most motivating by employees today involve little if any money, but rather simply some time, thoughtfulness and creativity on the part of their manager. The book cites examples form some 500 successful companies of all sizes from across America. Throughout the book are insights and summaries of relevant research and hundreds of quotes on the topic of motivating employees from today's business leaders. First published in March of 1994 by Workman Publishing in New York, the book is now in its second printing.
