Steve Chandler - 100 Ways to Motivate Others: How Great Leaders Can Produce Insane Results Without Driving People Crazy

Monday, May 12th, 2008

100 Ways to Motivate Others is the culmination of many years of successful
leadership coaching and training by best-selling author Steve Chandler and
attorney Scott Richardson, and the natural follow-up to Steve’s two previous
best-sellers—100 Ways to Motivate Yourself and Reinventing Yourself.
Chandler and Richardson have crafted a vital, user-friendly, inspirational
guide for executives, managers, and professionals… and those aspiring to
reach their level.

100 Ways to Motivate Others draws on the success of live workshops,
seminars, and personal coaching programs on communications and
leadership. These seminars, done for such organizations as Banner Health,
General Dynamics, Scripps Hospital, Wells Fargo Banks, Bristol-Myers
Squibb, and M&I Banks, appeal to managers, teachers, parents, CEOs, and
coaches everywhere.

The first step in motivating others is for you, if you’re the leader wanting the
motivation, to realize that “if there’s a problem, I’m the problem.” Once you
truly get that, then you can use these 100 ways. After you’ve learned to
motivate yourself, Steve and Scott will help you learn:

• How to slow down and enjoy a new level of focus
• Why multitasking is a myth, not a strength, and keeping life simple and
straightforward is the goal
• The power of building on your peoples’ strengths
• How to avoid the damaging inclination to obsess about people’s
weaknesses
• A simple and creative way to hold people accountable
• How to enjoy cultivating the art of supportive confrontation.

This book inspires extremely tough-minded leadership that gives the gift of
clarity and vision to every person following the leader.

100 Ways to Motivate Others rides on the crest of the international success
of Steve Chandler’s 100 Ways to Motivate Yourself. Chandler has written
eight books and has been translated into seven languages, including
best-sellers in China and Japan. He graduated from the University of Arizona
with a degree in Creative Writing and Political Science, and spent four years
in the US Army in Psychological Warfare. He and Scott Richardson live in
Phoenix, Ariz., and provide leadership coaching and training throughout the
world.
