The Carrot Principle

Human performance accelerated? Is this book about the work place or the human race?

It`s actually both. The Carrot Principle shows definitively that the central characteristic of the most successful managers is that they provide their employees with frequent and effective recognition -- a practice that unquestionably taps into our own human nature. Recognition inspires results in every age group, career level, and culture!
