Lots of Stories - Little Organization

It's probably unfortunate that I already owned "100 Ways to Motivate Others" before buying this book. I was looking for ways to help appreciate and reward my volunteers with the low budget I had available. I purchased "1001 Ways to Energize Employees" for the same reasons - looking for ways to...

Energy Raising Methods to Counteract Tedium and Staleness

Light Reading. This book is purely focused upon the many ways to build initiative, increase autonomy, raise morale and to design a work environment that fosters creativity, commitment and thusly ENERGY. It is not so much revealing a number of ways to do this, but invites a paradigm shift from...

A Book For Ideas

This book is helpful to have on the bookshelf for anyone looking for new ideas. I did not find that it really treated its subject in any depth.

A must-have for managers and HR folks

I'm an HR person myself, and have found this (and the 1001 ways to reward) to be an essential part of my library. Many people want to look through it, borrow it... some have kept it, so this is probably my fifth version of the book that I've bought! Try to put your name all over the book so...

A fast how-to book on energizing teams... lacks depth

If you are looking to truly turn around your company or department, this is not the book for you. When does this book come in handy? If you are seeking for quick ideas to energize your team, and are short on inspiration: that is where it's a very comprehensive source. But be realistic: true...

There's a sucker born every minute

Companies are spending so much money trying to inspire employees that they have spawned an industry: the motivation industry. Bob Nelson is cashing in on it for sure. What executive wouldn't buy in to the notion of some pundit who champions "no cost" motivation? I wonder what they pay to hear...

Needed now more than ever!

Creative yet practical ways to motivate and retain staff are needed now more than ever before. Between the sour economy that makes raises and bonuses tougher, the specter of layoffs that's making everyone nervous, the ability of top staff to bail on you at a moment's notice, and the trend toward...

Excellent

As the CEO of a large vending machine distribution company I can honestly say that the company is now unrecognisable after I applied the principles in Nelson and Blanchard's superb guide to energizing the workforce. Their Gay-For-A-Day initiative for equalities awareness was an eye-opener for...

A few useful tidbits

I like this little book for highlighting out-of-the-box ideas for improving the enthusiasm, and therefore the productivity of employees. Each energizing idea is described succinctly in a short paragraph. The ideas consist of short stories of some strategy or new approach a particular company...

Same old stuff

I purchased this book and I want my money back. The book is clearly written, yet it repeats and repeats things which we all know and things the author keeps repeating in all his well-worn works. Instead of 200-plus pages, it could have been done in 20.
