Very good for anyone managing others. There is a companion book, 1001 Ways to Energize Employees, that is excellent, also.

I bought this as an entrepreneur with little $ to spend...and very grateful to have such a great staff. I had often heard that $ was not always the #1 motivator (although I still agree it certainly helps!) - and this book had a lot of great ideas outside of just dollars. It worked for my team for sure!

You don't need a book for that if you do you need to get out of management!

It's the million-plus-copy bestseller that every manager and employer needs, whether they supervise one employee or one thousand. Because what really motivates people to perform are thoughtful, personal gestures that signify real appreciation--and don't necessarily cost money.
