Managing by Motivation: Complete Trainer's Guide with Participant Questionnaire(s) This instrument is a stimulating new addition to existing supervisory and management development workshops on change, teams, and leadership. The 20-item questionnaire can be completed and self-scored in 15 minutes, and includes brief and insightful interpretive material. A companion Trainer's Guide includes training designs, a lecturette, norms, and references. The result is a complete program of assessment, training, discussions, and development of your managers and supervisors. Increase management effectiveness through improved motivation skills. This proven instrument is based on the classic motivation theories of Maslow and Herzberg which identify motivating factors in terms of an individual's security, social, self-esteem, and self-actualization needs. Managers will learn to understand their own motivations as well as take into account employees' motivations as they relate to performance and change issues. Managing by Motivation teaches leaders and managers how to capitalize on employees' natural motivators rather than focusing on external motivators that are less relevant to them.
