Sparking Self-Motivation in Your
Staff
Why a new look at
motivation?
It’s simple. The old ideas don’t work
anymore. In today’s fast-paced, team-oriented workplace a powerful new
approach to employee motivation has emerged: Intrinsic Motivation.
We now know that long-term motivation
arises only when people are turned on from within: when they are
motivated by the challenge of work itself.
The psychology of intrinsic motivation has
been extensively studied. It is being applied – with dramatic success
– in organizations of all types and sizes.
At this workshop you’ll learn how to
apply these management methods with your people and teams. The result?
Higher quality, speed and productivity from a more enthusiastic and
effective team.
Who will benefit most . . .
- Managers, supervisors
- Team, workgroup, and project leaders
- Team members
