- Summary
- (v. 1). This three-part series discusses and demonstrates motivational strategies for employees in contemporary workplaces. The first program covers intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, why and how to balance internal and external motivators for each employee, the key elements that make a job interesting in and of itself, how the Ritz-Carlton encourages its staff to tap their own motivators, the characteristics of intrinsic motivation, how "private logic" shapes each employee's motivation and how to overcome the obstacles it creates for management, what to do if an employee is exhibiting "puzzling" behavior, a method for helping to focus all communications with staff quickly and easily, and how to deliver feedback that keeps personnel motivated.
(v. 2). Speaks to using "private logic" to uncover employees' hidden motivators, effective methods to employ feedback and build trust between staff and management, understanding the various forms of feedback to ensure the right approach to each situtation and employee, how to hold employees responsible for performance improvement without constant monitoring, taking "baby steps" to solve one motivational problem at a time, identifying and removing the demotivators that stifle staff, the types of blame that people assign to their nonperformance and the one-sentence reply for managers to use in such instances, and specific tactics General Electric management uses to motivate its work force.
(v. 3). Describes what's wrong with the time-honored "theory x" and "theory y" and how to move beyond traditional motivational approaches, why employees become and stay unmotivated, how insurance giant AdminaStar Federal turned a mundane chore into a self-motivating challenge, pay-for-performance programs, the critical components of every successful incentive plan, how to avoid the common mistakes that cripple many compensation systems, motivational strategies for keeping spirits high during downsizing and maintaining momentum during restructuring, an audit tool to reveal ways to maximize intrinsic motivation among staffers, and workplace trends that could be affecting motivation. - Subject(s)
