If you're looking for a management system that has genuine staying power and consistently produces dramatic results--or if you're seeking a way to inspire yourself, every day--it's time to get back to the basics.
Motivation is the single most important management strategy you will ever need to ensure your personal, professional and organizational success. And 1,001 Ways to Inspire shows you how to re-apply motivation in everything you do. This unique, results-oriented audio enables you to select from a menu of everyday motivational issues that include plenty of curve balls and mistakes to avoid.
David E. Rye shows you to apply his theory in real-life situations with your boss, your peers, your employees, and the most important center for positive "teamwork"--your family.
What's titled as a way to inspire people at work is actually a series of prescriptions for getting what you want from someone based on his personality type. The premise is that people have different emotional and behavioral styles and it pays to know what type you're dealing with, as well as your own type, when trying to influence them. But the oversimplification risked by this approach is made worse in this program by recommendations that many will find trite and manipulative. And like many social science approaches to management, the program tries to teach too many skills from too many angles for any of it to be effective. The author may have some accumulated wisdom, but the content of this program and the imperious reading don't allow it to come through. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
