About What Motivates Me: Put Your Passions To Work

Product Description What Motivates Me will help readers align the work they do every day, for the rest of their lives, with what truly motivates them. It also includes a code to the Motivators Assessment. This is not a personality test, but a scientifically valid assessment that digs straight to the core of what motivates you at work. The book also features a set of thought-provoking exercises to help readers sculpt their jobs with 60 powerful strategies. After analyzing the results of 850,000 interviews, the authors sought to discover why so many people are not as engaged and energized as they could be at work. They found those who are happiest and most successful are engaged in work that aligns with what motivates them. What Motivates Me offers an extensively tested method to help readers identify their core motivators and figure out the disconnects between their passions and their current work, and guides all those searching for joy and engagement by asking the important questions - “What motivates me?” and “What can I do about it?” Review "If you feel stalled in your career, read this book!”--Kent Taylor, CEO and Chairman, Texas Roadhouse "The tools and insight Gostick and Elton unveil in this excellent new book provide a step-by-step process that can help anyone bring their best self to work."--Gary Garfield, CEO and President, Bridgestone Americas, Inc. “Once in a great while a business book comes along that everyone is talking about.

From Chapter 1: Far too many people are casting about in confusion for what would make them more successful and happier at work. Far too many able, intelligent people know they’re not as productive or motivated as they could be day-to-day, while some are actually de-motivated—with aspects of their work that are in direct opposition to what drives them. That’s not good for individuals, and it’s certainly not good for their managers or organizations either. Turn the mirror upon yourself. Most days at work, are you doing what truly motivates you? Or back up: Before now, have you taken the time to reflect on what fuels your fire on the job, what matters most to you? What are you doing, exactly, on those days when you are excited and energized in your work, when you have that proverbial skip in your step? Only when we identify those unique drivers can we begin to chip away what constrains us and unleash our full potential, our best ideas, and our productive power. Only then can we silence the critics around us and realize happiness is not about any preconceived notion of what should be meaningful, impressive, or logical to you. It’s about aligning the work you do every day with what motivates you. We’ve found stories that gave us hope. They are people among us who are deeply fulfilled by their work, who are passionate about what they do, and are energized when Monday comes. So what’s their secret? In most cases they have taken control of their careers. For two decades we’ve worked with some of the world’s most successful organizations in increasing employee engageme
