- This program, like others in the series, is designed to help a
- person improve their motivation abilities.
-
- Some supervisors are surprised to find out that what they
- thought would motivate their workers, was far down the list of
- actual motivational items. The number one motivator, without
- question is "UNDERSTANDING AND HONEST APPRECIATION OF THE GOOD
- WORK DONE." One of Dale Carnegie's Most important principles
- from his Book "HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE" is to
- "Show Honest, Sincere Appreciation." A manager who knows and
- practices this principle regularly, is a far more motivational
- manager than one who doesn't.
-
- In the questionnaire section of this program, you will see this
- and a host of other motivational items mentioned. Depending on
- how you score yourself, you can see what kind of a motivator
- you are on a regular basis.
-
- As with the other programs, the close lets you select one or
- more of the random messages. Ask for several, even if you get
- duplicates, since this is a random selection from six
- possibilities.
-
- Making a hard copy of the questionnaire and working with it is
- another way to maximize the benefits of the programs. The
- programs are self-prompting.
