by Marshall J. Cook - 1977.

So how do you motivate people in such a way that it actually works both short and long term. How do you channel that human energy to create a constant atmosphere of peak performance? Compliance is a necessity in business, but the book warns not to manage for compliance, rather manage for performance while complying with the law and minimizing unnecessary bureaucracy in your organization that exists - give power to the people.

Today we call this "empowerment" back in 1977, they called it; managing and motivating for performance. The book explains how to talk the talk, walk the walk and maintain a vision of clarity.

Cook warns of problems and concerns when in meetings and committees and how to maintain motivation. The discussion and topics in the book range from rewards, coaching, motivating self and allowing for mistakes during time constraints, and stress periods. Marshall tells why the "boss of the year" title must be avoided like the plague and how the team and individuals must know that it is about them, about trust, strength and allowing the employees to feel proud about what they are doing.
