The Progress Principle Audiobook (Free)

What motivates workers? As a manager, you need to know why people come to work each day, why is them stay – and what drives them to execute at their finest. According to Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer, the best leaders are able to build a cadre of employees who have satisfying inner work lives: consistently positive emotions; strong motivation; and favorable perceptions of the organization, their work, and their co-workers. To do this, you must produce ahead momentum in meaningful function – about The Progress Principle and prevent the obstructions that undermine inner work existence. Through rigorous evaluation of almost 12,000 diary entries provided by hundreds of workers in a number of different organizations, Amabile and Kramer describe how you can foster improvement and enhance your people’s inner work life every day – along the way boosting long-term creative productivity. The publication shows how you can remove common obstacles to progress, such as for example meaningless jobs and toxic human relationships, and stresses how these factors can disrupt workers’ internal function lives. The Improvement Principle also clarifies how you can activate two forces that enable progress: “catalysts” – occasions that directly facilitate project function, such as very clear goals and autonomy; and “nourishers” – social occasions that uplift employees, including encouragement and presentations of respect and collegiality. Filled with honest, real-life illustrations, powerful insights, and practical advice, The Improvement Principle equips aspiring and seasoned leaders alike using the guidance they need to maximize people’s overall performance.
