Workshop Description

What could be more fundamental to management or more difficult, than motivating people? After all, a manager, by definition, is someone who gets work done through others. But how? Appealing to their deepest drives, needs and desires. The core assets of the modern business enterprise aren't its building, machinery and real estate, but the intelligence, understanding, skills and experience of its employees. Harnessing the capabilities and commitment of knowledge workers is arguably the central managerial challenge of our time. However, it can be frustrating trying to instill the right instincts into your employees and co-workers to think bigger, take on responsibility, think more like owners and fully work to their potential.
