1001 Ways to Reward Employees
By Bob Nelson
Why is 1001 Ways to Reward Employees, with over 1.4 million copies in print, such an extraordinary bestseller? Because a little over ten years
ago Bob Nelson took the seeds of an idea and turned it into something indispensable for business. The idea? That it’s not a raise that
motivates an employee, and it’s not a promotion—what really sparks a person to perform are those intangible, unexpected gestures that signify
real appreciation for a job well done.
How Full is Your Bucket? Positive Strategies for Work and Life
By Tom Rath and Don Clifton
In this brief but significant book, the authors, a grandfather-grandson team, explore how using positive psychology in everyday interactions can
dramatically change our lives. Clifton (coauthor of Now, Discover Your Strengths) and Rath suggest that we all have a bucket within us that
needs to be filled with positive experiences, such as recognition or praise. When we're negative toward others, we use a dipper to remove from
their buckets and diminish their positive outlook. When we treat others in a positive manner, we fill not only their buckets but ours as well. The
authors illustrate how this principle works in the areas of business and management, marriage and other personal relationships and in
parenting through studies covering a 40-year span, many in association with the Gallup Poll.
Punished By Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes
By Alfie Kohn
Our basic strategy for raising children, teaching students, and managing workers can be summarized in six words: Do this and you'll get that.
We dangle goodies (from candy bars to sales commissions) in front of people in much the same way that we train the family pet. In this ground-
breaking book, Alfie Kohn shows that while manipulating people with incentives seems to work in the short run, it is a strategy that ultimately
fails and even does lasting harm. Our workplaces and classrooms will continue to decline, he argues, until we begin to question our reliance
on a theory of motivation derived from laboratory animals.

Whale Done! : The Power of Positive Relationships
By Ken Blanchard
What do your people at work and your spouse and kids at home have in common with a five-ton killer whale? Probably a whole lot more than
you think, according to top business consultant and mega-bestselling author Ken Blanchard and his coauthors from SeaWorld. In this moving
and inspirational new book, Blanchard explains that both whales and people perform better when you accentuate the positive. He shows how
using the techniques of animal trainers -- specifically those responsible for the killer whales of SeaWorld -- can supercharge your effectiveness
at work and at home.
In Whale Done!, Ken Blanchard shows how to make accentuating the positive and redirecting the negative the best tools to increase productivity,
instead of creating situations that demoralize people. These techniques are remarkably easy to master and can be applied equally well at
home, allowing readers to become better parents and more committed spouses in their happier and more successful personal lives.
