Helps in Low Morale

I am tasked to manage an extremely low morale team in a high tech environment. It is very difficult to find the motivating triggers for my employees. I picked up this book and found it very helpful. I actually had each of my employees do a personality assessment and it not only helped me to work better with them and their development, but also allowed me to identify ways to motivate each personality type. I enjoyed the book. I agree, it is not a complex subject and will most likely not be used in a philosophy class, but that is what I enjoyed. It took the concept of personality assessments and streamlined it to find the basic, common result (a better working relationship with myself and my direct reports.)

A cornucopia of creative ideas for motivating people.

Beginning with a self-administered test and a discussion about understanding yourself in terms of four personality types, this book presents ways to motivate yourself and others, including your boss and folks outside of the company, under a variety of circumstances. The author addresses personality and situational challenges. Here is a book that provides you with very applied guidance and an abundance of ideas; the type of book that should stimulate your thinking and motivate you to action.

Intersting and insightful

This book made me think about certain practices that I use in variuos organizations I am involved with. Insights for improvement and success are packed into this book.
