As you go about getting your MBA, make sure you learn how to get the most out of your employees. Stephen Covey senior wrote in 1991 that the possible performance gain was 500% and my experience as an executive agrees with Covey. So in just a few words, what is the formula? Rather than spending...

Why? Obviously because it makes a lot of common sense. But for the long run, it is more important that a company know how to create a fully engaged, highly committed, and highly motivated workforce and thus how to coach/train new managers to do so. Most schools are stuck teaching a command and...

Every executive and manager wants a highly motivated, committed, and fully engaged workforce. Stephen Covey in his book "Principe Centered Leadership" indicated that a gain of 500% is possible if you created high performers. My 30+ years of managing people makes me agree with that. Take a look...

Shrusti, The five needs are: to be heard, to be respected, and to have competence, autonomy, and relatedness (think purpose), these last three from the research of Edward Deci and Richard Ryan, what they called Self Determination Theory, what motivates us. These five needs are basic to every...

Gaurav, Do you have proof that your opinion is correct? I have proved that style is not what you need to succeed. Style is all about what you have to offer employees. But that is not what they need. Give them what they need and you will succeed beyond your wildest dreams, recession or not...

I would love to hear the opinions of others. For me, my 30+ years of managing people taught me that style only gets in the way of leading people to be highly motivated, committed and fully engaged in their work. In that state, they are at least 300% more productive than if poorly engaged...
