Employee Motivation Techniques for Managers

Wednesday, October 15th at 2:00 p.m. Central Time 3:00 p.m. Eastern; 1:00 p.m. Mountain; Noon Pacific

A 75-minute Webinar hosted by Ragan Management Resources, featuring Michael Angelo Caruso

About the Webinar:

Sometimes it's not easy to get people to do what you want them to do.

Other times it's not easy to get people to do what you pay them to do.

Unfortunately, many managers attempt to motivate their employees using three things that don't work very well: Job descriptions Performance reviews Salary To remedy this, Ragan Management Resources has teamed up with motivational expert Michael Angelo Caruso to offer an informative employee motivation Web event. This Webinar has been designed to teach you exactly what works—and why many common techniques don't! In just 75 minutes, you'll gain practical tools for employee motivation and learn the best practices to truly energize your staff.

Source material for this event draws from the work of Elton Mayo, the man who founded the modern-day Human Resource department; Douglas McGregor, who conceptualized Theory X and Theory Y management in his book The Human Side of Enterprise; and Michael's own audio program titled "Effective Coaching."

This information-packed session will offer more than 50 motivational tips and also explain the psychoanalytical concepts known as the "pain-pleasure principle" and the "hot and cold water technique." Both methods are surprisingly simple to use and will take you out of the "bad guy" role forever.

Join us Wednesday, October 15, for new ideas on how to motivate your team!
