Great management tool on motivation

This book on motivation is not only a great tool for managers, it is a tool for each of us to take a look at our inner selves to discover what motivates us. For managers, the advise is invaluable. You can read through this book in under an hour. I took a hilighter to emphasize the many gems of wisdom, so that I can easily refer back again and again.

A BIG little Book

This is a two sitting book (I am a slow reader) and it is a GREAT READ on the subject of motivation! The information was presented in an easy visual format which one can use as an easy reference upon finishing. Short paragraphs and lots of bullets make it easy to find the pearls of wisdom within. Quotes are always great anchors for learning, pertinent and many were different from the old saws repeated over and over again in other books, articles and papers. The chronology of topics built to a useful and actionable set of tools for motivation. All in all Beyond Kicks and Carrots is a book I would highly recommend to organizations - great for developing cohesion among and between teams, as well as individuals looking to self improve. Leslie Yerkes latest offering is big information in a well summarized and brief book. [...]
