Bringing Out the Best is not so much a book to have read, but rather a book to read, review and reference. Although there are many important points made in this book that can help you understand people and why they often behave in "strange and mysterious ways" I think the most important knowledge to be gained is the distinction between reinforcement and recognition or rewards. Today, when so many "pop" writers are claiming that people are demotivated by extrinsic rewards, Dr. Daniels is the only business writer even attempting to explain that reinforcement whether it occurs naturally (that is the work itself provides reinforcement and satisfaction) or given extrinsically, (that is, someone else notices good work and complements the worker) is significantly different than the typical rewards and recognition programs so often developed in businesses today. This book should be read by any one who has ever been disappointed by an attempt to reward or by an attempt to be rewarded. This includes managers, parents, ministers and anyone else who is expected to influence and motivate others. (From quoting a guest reviewer, USA)

This latest edition of "Bringing Out the Best in People" includes important new applications to business problems. It begins with an explanation of why traditional management methods are so costly and then lays out an alternative, which truly brings out the best in people. This approach is exactly what managers need to get the results they want, while at the same time, building the kind of organization where people want to contribute. Managers learn a step by step process for getting those results. |

One of the very best, if not the best, books on motivating a group of people that I have ever read. I've just started implementing some of the stratagies and I'm already seeing positive results. The book is easy to read and understand. |

Wow - This book, if you are willing to listen, will help you become aware of what is going on around you. At least, it did for me. Every couple of pages, I found myself saying "oh .. oh yes.. of course!" If nothing else, this book made me realize that I'm not crazy nor am I alone; that my environment, particularly the standard salary compensation system, really is de-motivating. No wonder I and so many others often struggle with procrastination!
The concepts are explained very well and he does a very nice job drawing out the implications to specific examples that most readers will immediately relate to. This book was one of the most satisfying reads I've had in a long time.
