Use For Motivation Books At Work

By Chloe Gib


Working with motivation books to find ways to improve elements of a workplace can be beneficial. You may discover that different chapters provide valuable lessons that could alter the way you currently do business. New ideas may come from group discussions about the lessons learned.

To find out what type of reading would best help your employees, it can be effective to offer a quiz to take an assessment of what needs to be worked on. You can frame the quiz as short paragraph answer or even multiple choice with pointed questions designed to find out what are the top issues the company faces among its employees. This assessment can then help you frame a reading selection.

Some of these types of writings involve topics at the start of the chapter to help the reader see what the goal by the end of the chapter is. The chapter also might include discussion topics. If these chapters are assigned readings for the larger work group, you can then talk about each chapter as you go along or the entire book at the end of the reading.

You could choose to focus on teamwork resources and how these different elements can be applied to larger company goals in your discussions. Each team may currently be working independently of each other. Through your meetings, you may find hidden talents or brainstorm ideas of best practices from each group to apply overall or in other departments.

Team inspiration is critical to maintain motivation and keep people engaged in the end goals for the company. As each team is listened to and given credit for what worked best in their departments, the larger effect may be changes overall in how other workers approach their own jobs. The employees can play a crucial role in inspiring each other from ideas that started with the readings.

It can be important to move forward with the ideas that evolve from the sessions and show the workers that what they come up with matters as innovative techniques. These suggestions may be as simple as changes made in communication protocols within the company. Take some of the ideas and see where they go with implementation.

Using motivation books can be the start of a larger conversation to find what works and what does not at a company. You may consider focusing on segments of these readings, or ask that employees read through a complete book. The ideas that may be spawned from these sessions could be just the spark your business needs to move forward.
