Motivation and Productivity in the Construction Industry

By Robert H. Warren

Book Overview

Bob Warren has given us a c: onstruction management book with a mission: to ensure that the "People Quotient" is hlctored into all bc: ets of project management and job-site performanc: e. Warren demonstrates the importanc: e of respect for every naftsman's individual worth and of empathy for the c: onclitions surrounding c: onstruction employment. He outlines the motivational forces that achieve highest pro- ductivity and, at the same time, displays on every page a broad generosity of spirit along with keen analytical powers. Clearly, the book is the fi-uit of the author's own years of ex- perienc: e in the field. I am proud to say that 13 of those years were spent with Fluor Daniel, so that I c: an vouc: h personally for his ac: umen and leadership in project management. I c: ommend this hook most heartily to my colleagues, dients, and c: ompetitors throughout the construction industry. It should be on the shelf of every c: aring manager who wants, not only to get the best out of his workforc: e, but also to acc: omplish the best for the members of that work forc: e as individual human beings.
