Quickly and sustainably improve employee motivation, engagement, and performance with this simple, four-step process from a top leadership expert.

Leadership tends to be thought of as an art, not a science. Imagine the benefits of having an algorithm—a repeatable process based on decades of research on what motivates employees—that any leader could follow to consistently inspire greatness in others.

From sought-after speaker and consultant Matt Tenney, Inspire Greatness outlines a simple, scalable, four-step process that enables leaders to routinely bring out the best in team members and improve performance by:

• Taking responsibility for employee engagement and acting from the wisdom that their primary job is to inspire greatness in their team members.
• Identifying what team members need to thrive and do great work.
• Collecting regular feedback on how well direct supervisors are meeting the 14 universal needs people have for being engaged at work.
• Pairing feedback for leaders with bite-size learning that is easy to consume and act on immediately.

Tightly synchronizing employees’ feedback with targeted, microlearning for their direct managers creates an incredibly powerful, synergistic effect by: (1) dramatically increasing the likelihood that managers will develop lasting habits that contribute to employee engagement, and (2) allowing employees to see meaningful action almost immediately in response to their feedback.

Inspire Greatness is a practical guide to consistently bringing out the best in team members while also helping you and other leaders in your organization realize deep meaning and fulfillment at work.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Action items!

I loved that the author gave me action items to do along the way. I opted to read all the way through and not stop to take action. However I have restarted the book and will be taking action!

Excellent for orienting managers and company

The process and habits outlined in the book are great. They really build the correct orientation for creating company culture that's conducive for trust, growth, engagement, and innovation.

Practical advice that would change any organizations culture.

This book is full of practical insights that focus on the deeper meaning behind the actions and practices that make great organizations great. As well as insights to the character of the leaders that guide them. Excellent read!!!

This is so practical

I had all my managers and team leaders read this. it's something we can all do. And while not every position is one of great authority, they should know and understand how we want our business run and what kind of atmosphere we expect.

Impactful and actionable book on leadership!

"Inspire Greatness" is different than the typical leadership books.

I've read dozens of books on leadership since it's been a passion of mine for decades. My biggest critique of them is that they tend to be conceptual and obvious. "Be empathetic." "Be a great listener."

Everyone tends to believe that they are already these things. So these books tend to be light on actual impact.

Matt Tenney's book, "Inspire Greatness: How to Motivate Employees with a Simple, Repeatable, Scalable Process" is quite different.

The book sets the tone at the start with this startling premise: that employee engagement is not the responsibility of the human resources department but instead, is THE PRIMARY JOB of every leader.

Not setting strategy, accomplishing targets, driving efficiencies, etc.

Yes, those are all noble objectives and of course every leader is hired to achieve specific results. Yet, how are you going to accomplish those outcomes if you don't have highly engaged, passionate employees that have an owners, not a renters, mindset about the company?

Matt Tenney also understands that changing leadership behavior overnight is unachievable. What IS achievable is behavior change through new habit formations. Small, bite-sized, habit change.

If you want a refreshing, actionable guide on how you can inspire the greatness in your people, read this book!
