Publisher's Synopsis
The 3 Secret Skills are used by top performers everywhere to improve performance in less time for any purposeful job, task, skill, or relationship. The book offers powerful lessons to transform leaders who are identified as CEO's, Directors, Supervisors, Managers, Coaches, Teachers, Parents, and anyone who leads other people. A distinction is made between commonly used extrinsic motives and intrinsic motives research has proven to be more effective.
All motivation is centered about improving a quality of life. The transformation implies permanent change in how to consistently keep improving performance in less time to shorten the learning curve and gain competitive advantage vying for the same outcomes. Needs and values are explained as the two primary factors to affect motivation and goal setting.
Most people think motivation is something someone does to them or someone else. Examples of extrinsic motives are offers of incentives like money, promotions, vacations, praise, and candy. The problem is you must keep increasing the value of the extrinsic incentive to motivate and requires more supervision of the performers.
More powerful intrinsic motives occur when performers regard new information as meaningful and relevant to retain as knowledge to improve and satisfy personal needs, values, and goals. Once understood, these performers require less supervision. Each secret skill is teachable and learned independently but applied interdependently in The Triad Performance Improvement System. For leaders, the most difficult task is to align the mission and vision of the system or company with the personal needs and values of the performers doing the work. When that is achieved, overall performance of the team or organization is greatly improved with fantastic results! For individuals, the powerful lessons of the 3 secret skills transforms lives and those lead to increase the probability for lifelong success and happiness.
