NEW YORK—September 26, 2017—Morgan James’s new book release, The Motivation to Actively Care by E. Scott Geller and Bob Veazie, teaches readers to be self-motivated and in others to actively care to ensure safety, health, and well-being.
The Motivation to Actively Care, based on actual events and research-supported principles, follows Joanne Cruse losing her job as the Safety Director for a large manufacturing company. Subsequently, her former psychology professor, Dr. Pitz (“Doc”), invites her to apply for a position as leadership consultant with his firm, Make-A-Difference, Inc. (MAD) that helps companies cultivate a self-motivated and personally-engaged workforce. Joanne’s visits to various organizations struggling with occupational issues, related to self-motivation, introduces her to different leadership principles that demonstrate how people can feel empowered and promote the best in others.
Her participation in interpersonal and group interactions reveal twenty practical and profound leadership lessons which nurture an actively caring for people workplace where employees exert their best efforts to meet their company’s mission. In addition to equipping readers with leadership skills and inspiring self-motivation, Geller and Veazie reveal how organizations stifle personal and professional success with win-lose mindsets, but offer solutions. They outline the three C’s of self-motivation (Choice, Competence, and Community) and illustrate how to enhance these perceptions in oneself and in others.
Each chapter addresses an important principle about self-motivation, leadership, and communication—elements which promote an actively caring for people workplace. The Motivation to Actively Care is an excellent resource for teachers, parents, coaches, and students seeking self-motivation and practical leadership competencies.
