A new book sheds light on what motivates workers
A recently released book by Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton, called "What Motivates Me: Putting Our Passions to Work" will help you figure out if you (and your staff) are thinkers, achievers, builders, caregivers or reward-driven. While on the job each type of person is motivated by different things.
Twenty-three different workplace motivators were identified by reviewing a decade of workplace surveys, completed by more than 850,000 people.
As the authors explain, "One of the best and simplest ways for leaders to help their team members be more successful and accomplish more is to have them understand their motivations and do just a little sculpting of the nature of their jobs or tasks to better match duties with passions. This can uncover subtle changes that can lead to big increases in morale, engagement and results."
