There is one proven pathway to your employees’ best performance: their ability to get the life they desire from the work they give.
Most managers try to motivate their people’s performance with the message of, “When you give us your best, we’ll hit our goals!” This never taps anyone’s full potential because, while most people care about their employer’s success, every person cares MOST about getting the life they desire.
Denying this human truth costs employers billions of dollars every year because when leaders leverage a second-place motivation, they get second-place results.
Desire-Based Leadership: A Manager’s Unexpected Key to Driving Top Performance gives people leaders of all levels insights and tools to get what they need most from their people by giving their people what they want most from their work, and lays out a rock-solid business case for how aligning with employee desires is the fastest, most reliable path to consistent business growth.
