Reviews

 

Few topics are as important, yet poorly understood, as workplace motivation. This book provides an authoritative guide for leaders and professionals interested in leveraging the science of motivation to enhance individual, team, and organisational performance. A must-read if you care about evidence-based management and understand the limits of intuition.
