Many think these communication tools are good people skills and are useful everywhere ~ from parenting to the boardroom, from friendship to leadership, from relationships to coaching. People mistakenly believe these tools are the keys to unlock human potential.\n\nThat is a myth, says Mattison Grey and Jonathan Manske. Praise, compliments, and appreciation do not do what people think they do. They do not unlock human potential.\n\nIn this provocative and compelling book, Grey and Manske debunk the myth that performance, achievement, confidence, and connection ~ at work, at school, and at home ~ are improved by these communication tools.\n\nFortunately, there is an alternative, acknowledgement. This communication tool is the cure for underperformance, lack of self-confidence, and ineffective motivation techniques.\n\nGrey and Manske have seen it over and over again ~ acknowledgement changes lives!Acknowledgement effectively produces the results ~ increased performance, motivation and inspiration, and improved self-confidence ~ these other communication tools try to accomplish but do not.\n\nThe Motivation Myth draws on scientific research, anecdotal stories from interesting people, and thirty-five plus years of combined experience in using and teaching the tool of acknowledgement.\n\nGrey and Manske reveal the simple yet effective communication tool of acknowledgment and how to work with it to motivate and inspire with integrity and grace. Acknowledgement is the invisible language of results!\n\nTable of Contents1 ~ Introduction 2 ~ Why I Wrote This Book 3 ~ The Myth 4 ~ Compliments, Praise, And Appreciation Do Not Work 5 ~ Acknowledgement ~ What It Is And What It Is Not6 ~ How To Acknowledge 7 ~ Acknowledgement As Feedback8 ~ Self-Acknowledgement9 ~ Using Acknowledgement In Team Meetings10 ~ Acknowledgement In Leadership11 ~ Acknowledgement In Sports12 ~ Acknowledgement In Parenting13 ~ Acknowledgement In Relationships14 ~ Acknowledgement In Sales15 ~ Acknowledgement In Peak Performance16 ~ Because You Can\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1468151592\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1468151592.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Manske, Jonathan|Grey, Mattison\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
