Introduction
You really need John to stay late to finish a report that's due in the morning. Not looking you in the eye, he says, "I can't tonight. I... uh... have to go to a school function."
Kim, whom you inherited from a predecessor, is habitually late for work. Yet she constantly badgers you for time off for this and that and acts hurt and lowers her output when you don't give in.
Ray's a real menace. He's a competent worker, but you know he constantly sneers at you and other managers behind your backs. His mere presence lowers everyone's morale.
Aubrey is a happy-go-lucky chap who's fun to have around. And he's bright. Yet he does only the bare minimum to get by. Why won't he give more of himself?
"Is it me?" you wonder. "Is it our operating systems? Or the organization?"

may turn otherwise good folk into parasites who delight in undermining the work of others or avoiding even a hint of responsibility.
This book will help you correct all three situations. It'll explain why people behave as they do, plus offer a dozen or more practical techniques you can use on the job today to get the results you want.
But after reading this book, "the results you want" may change. If you've been looking for a bigger stick to whack people with, you may discover here a technique that instead provides a juicier, sweeter carrot to entice people to act in ways that better benefit the organization.
