About this listen
As a manager, it’s your role to achieve the highest possible return on the physical, emotional, and mental efforts your people put forth. It’s not just a return on investment ...it’s a return on energy. But how are you supposed to light a fire under each employee when studies find that most of them are working at only a fraction of their potential?
In this essential guide, Brian Tracy, the Master of Motivation, shows you how to unlock superstar performance from every single member of your work team. Based on decades of research and thousands of hours invested in maximizing personal and organizational performance, the hard and fast secrets of what you can do (and what you should stop doing) to inspire your employees to peak performance are now available. Packed with powerful, practical ideas and strategies, Full Engagement! shows you how to:
- create a high-trust work environment
- drive out the fears that hold your people back
- set clear goals and objectives
- unlock the potential of each person
- motivate and inspire employees to greater heights than they ever believed themselves capable of
- trigger the “X Factor” that maximizes productivity
- recognize, reward, and reinforce their efforts in a way that energizes each and every one of your people
Your ability to channel the human energies of your staff into higher levels of productivity and performance is the yardstick by which your ability as an executive will be measured. In these tough economic times, everyone is expected to produce more with less. The only way to succeed is to consistently inspire your people to perform at their absolute best. Full Engagement! provides you with the keys to unlocking not just the hidden drive and abilities that exist within every one of your people...but also your own.

They actually have vastly different styles and backgrounds. Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They don’t hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom. They don’t believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. They don’t try to help people overcome their weaknesses. And, yes, they even play favorites. In this longtime management bestseller, Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers.

Whether you're trying to communicate your business idea to an investor, encourage your children to embrace your moral values, or break an addiction to endless web surfing - if you lack the skill of influence, you will be unable to convince yourself or anyone else. The human mind is like a titanium lock. If you communicate poorly - through endless talking, inattentive listening, or over-the-top pressure - it's like spinning the numbers on the lock over and over uselessly. But if you develop the key skills of influence, it's like knowing the exact combination to that lock.

For ALL Owners & Managers
This is the most comprehensive management resource outlining the fundamentals of business team building that I have found to date. It's straight forward and to the point, and supplies an abundance of action steps to help you and your organization achieve goals in a no nonsense manner. I, personally, believe this should be the starting point for everyone entering the field to learn the art of management. Everything else learned beyond these principals elsewhere are just bonus materials, because it all comes down to people skills in the end. Never stop learning, growing, and building a culture that allows everyone to thrive, both personally and professionally. This book will help you stay on point. Good luck, everyone, and enjoy the ride!
