Primed to Perform (2015) dives into the heart of workplace motivation. This summary will show you how to ignite a lasting spark in your team, driving them to excel in ways that truly matter. You'll discover how fostering a culture of high performance can help your organization reach its full potential.

Spark your team's inner fire

What gets you out of bed for work? A fat paycheck? Sweet perks? But would you stick with a job you despised, even if it paid well? Probably not.

So what really drives you – and everyone else grinding through the workweek?

Smart business leaders know that building a high-performing culture means tapping into what truly motivates their teams. If you can't figure out what makes your employees tick, they won't give their all – and your company will struggle.

Drawing on over 20 years of business insights, these blinks break down the nuances of human motivation, how it works, and how you can harness its power to create a thriving company.

In this summary, you'll learn:

  • why play is the secret ingredient to inspiring your team;

  • how adaptive goals trump tactical ones; and

  • what drove Toyota to involve employees in the entire car-building process.
