Book Description
From Booklist
"Motivation is the fuel for performance. Without motivation, performance suffers." So begins Green's book, which offers a management approach to motivation that he calls the Belief System of Motivation and Performance. Based on the
expectancy theory of motivation (a complex mathematical model that states there is a critical connection between motivation and performance), Green's interpretation explains how people determine the extent to which they will work hard and how well they
will perform. His approach is based upon linking confidence in the ability to do the job with trust that rewards will come that will bring satisfaction. Using diagrams, stories, and sample scripts, the author provides the structure, process, and
guidelines for his Belief System, which requires managers to develop effective communication skills. His consulting experience has taught Green that people are at their best when they have confidence in themselves, trust in their manager, and are
satisfied in their work. Mary Whaley

Product Description:
Missed deadlines, absenteeism, and poor performance are symptoms of the kind of employee discouragement that can derail
change efforts, cause teams to fail, and create record-breaking turnover. They are a clear signal that focusing on performance is not enough. Managers also must continually read the gauge on employee motivation in order to get to the heart of problems,
empower employees to find solutions, and stay on the road to success.
Motivation Management clearly demonstrates the link between motivation and performance: People are at their best when they have confidence in themselves, trust their manager,
and find satisfaction in their work. Presenting a unique belief system model for tackling performance problems, author Thad Green explores what it takes to open up channels of communication, build leadership effectiveness, improve decision making, and
manage change more successfully--all by focusing on motivation. Based on sound management principles and backed by extensive experience, Motivation Management is tailor-made for anyone whose success depends on motivating and influencing others, or who
needs to examine his or her own motivation and performance issues. Using the model's three keys--confidence, trust, and satisfaction--and offering a wealth of vignettes, examples, checklists, and sample scripts, Green details exactly what to say and do
to get employees to talk about problems, unearth the underl! ying causes, and suggest solutions to improve their own performance.
