Summary: Creating positive organizations and outstanding results
Comment: There are a lot of books on organizations, but nothing like this book. It goes to the core of what it takes to build an enthusiastic and committed group of people who can consistently produce great results. There is fabulous material in here for leaders and staff alike. The concepts are insightful, and there are plenty of applications. If this book was widely read and applied, organizations of all types and sizes would be revolutionized from the inside out.

Rating: 1
Summary: Too little content
Comment: I was disappointed by this book. There is very little valuable content, and that little is stretched and repeated on and on in order to fill more than 200 pages. All together, a boring, badly written, repetitive book.

Rating: 4
Summary: Insightful!
Comment: A loyal employee will always show up bodily, but committed employees direct their minds and spirits to the organization's goals. Therein lies the premise of James R. Lucas' compelling and original book. To truly motivate a workforce, he proposes, you must appeal to something deeper than performance reviews, employee manuals and monetary rewards. You must harness the passion of your employees to the goals of your organization. In other words: Lead don't manage. While some experienced (dare we say cynical?) managers might grow impatient with the slightly fuzzy, optimistic tome of Lucas' book, the bottom-line commandment that managers should consider the goals, devotions and beliefs of their employees when choosing tactics for motivating a workforce cannot be disputed. We [...] recommend this outstanding treatment of the nature and nurture of employee motivation to anyone who stands higher than the first step in the reporting line.
