Positive Management: Increasing Employee Productivity

that being tough and unreasonable are keys to extracting high productivity
from employees, but profound economic, demographic, and cultural
change are creating a workplace where that myth can no longer be
believed. People who are hard to work for will face increasing diffi culty
in fi nding top-quality employees, especially highly educated ones. If your
organization has this problem, it could seriously hamper the accomplishment
of strategic objectives. This book explains how to use positive management
(PM) as an organization-wide strategy to motivate employees,
increase productivity, and accomplish organizational goals by creating
upbeat and dignifi ed relationships in the workplace. It covers the use of
PM in a variety of situations, including diffi cult and negative ones, to
achieve higher employee commitment and motivation, to lower communication
ineffi ciencies, and to reduce absenteeism and turnover.
