The book is then organized into sections that capture different kinds of ways to praise & recognize individuals. Taking the items that turn someone on, you can then cruise the lists until they trigger an idea that fits your situation. The book works well in that sense.
The book works well at another level: You get a sense of human ingenuity by reading alll of the interesting things that people have done to appreciate each other. It gives you a good feeling, as well, to consider how much thoughtfulness people show for each other.
Reading the book reminded me of an experience I had in my 20s. Our CEO had encouraged me to run a seminar for people in our company to make strategy development easier for people. I had worked hard, & it went well. Hoping to inspire people, I had arranged for him to speak to the group at the end of the seminar. I was tremendously pleased when he did. Imagine my immense happiness when he arrived with a gavel in hand, & presented it to me. He had ripped it off of a Junior Achievement trophy that he had in his office, because he wanted to give me a gift. After 27 years, I still have & treasure that gavel. This book will help inspire you to have the same effect on others.
Most of us would love to be great founts of motivation, but our imagination trails our enthusiasm. This book will help you fill that void. As Bob Nelson points out, 75 percent of companies do too little motivating. Even if you do the right amount of motivating, this book will help you do it better. There are appendices in the back to make it easier to implement the ideas in the lists in the front.
It's a great book concept for managers. No wonder the book has been a great seller for years. Be sure you get this book & use it often! You'll be well on your way to overcoming the communications stallls that delay progress in almost alll organizations, by creating the basic appreciation for one another that forms the trust necessary to alll good understanding.
There's an old saying: Don't show me how much you know, show me how much you care. This book embodies that spirit in a beautiful way.
The ideas are imaginative, practical & well categorised.
