What motivates employees? As a manager, you should know why people come to work every day, why is them stay - and what drives them to perform at their finest. Corresponding to Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer, the best leaders are able to build a cadre of employees who have satisfying interior work lives: constantly positive thoughts; strong drive; and favorable perceptions of the business, their work, and their fellow workers. To do this, you must create forward momentum in meaningful work - and prevent the obstacles that undermine interior work life. Through rigorous evaluation of almost 12,000 journal entries provided by a huge selection of employees in several different organizations, Amabile and Kramer make clear how you can foster progress and enhance your people's interior work life every day - along the way improving long-term creative efficiency. The reserve shows how you can remove common barriers to progress, such as meaningless responsibilities and toxic human relationships, and emphasizes how these factors can disrupt employees' interior work lives. The Progress Process also explains how you can activate two causes that enable progress: "catalysts" - situations that directly facilitate task work, such as clear goals and autonomy; and "nourishers" - interpersonal situations that uplift staff, including encouragement and presentations of esteem and collegiality. Filled with genuine, real-life examples, convincing insights, and functional advice, The Progress Process equips aspiring and seasoned leaders equally with the assistance they need to take full advantage of people's performance.
