“There’s a difference between having someone show up for work and bringing out the best thinking and initiative in each person. To do that requires treating employees more as partners, not as subordinates. Being nice isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s also the economical thing to do.”

Reader ReviewsThis book is great and works under the premise that you get the best effort out of people, not by lighting a fire under them, but by building a fire within them. In short, its simply a collection of ways to reward employees for doing a good job. It is divided into 6 sections (day to day rewards, intangible rewards, tangible rewards..) so there's definitely a boatload of reward ideas to fit just about any work situation. Examples from companies across the United States make this a fun read as well. Also good for any HR department- The Sixty-Second Motivator.
