Primal Management
Review in the Journal of Personnel Psychology:
"The book is clearly written, strongly and convincingly argued, insightful, provocative, stimulating, and interesting to read."
THE HORSEPOWER SYSTEM™
Here is a screen shot of The Horsepower System's™ leadership dashboard. It gives every manager a quick diagnostic readout of the current survey scores for their department. They can tell, at a glance, if the motivational engine is functioning optimally, or malfunctioning.
Motivation is the master metric that drives everything else. It therefore deserves a prominent position front-and-center on an organization's management dashboard.

The goal of this program is to create a positive "employer brand" that will help your company become an employer-of-choice in your community and win "Best Place to Work" contests. Here is an article I wrote that elaborates on the internal-marketing theme: http://goo.gl/CD0Vu |
