Leadership and Motivation: The Fifty-Fifty Rule and the Eight Key Principles of Motivating Others (The John Adair Leadership Library)

John Adair transformed our understanding of how leadership works with his pioneering book Not Bosses But Leaders. Here he explores the nature of motivation, individual needs and how they relate to the key tasks facing leaders and managers.  Positive motivation, he argues, can create, maintain and improve the performance of any team.

In Leadership and Motivation John Adair also puts forward his own theory of motivation – the fifty-fifty rule – and then identifies the eight key principles for motivating others.

Motivation increases efficiency and productivity, and makes reaching targets more likely. Leadership and Motivation will stimulate readers’ thoughts and ideas on how to inspire others, and offers some practical ways to motivate oneself and others to achieve.

Martin Luther King, Jr., on Leadership: Inspiration and Wisdom for Challenging Times

Using the Civil Rights struggle as his historical perspective, the author has created a detailed and absorbing chronicle of Martin Luther King’s leadership during the most tumultuous period in America’s recent past.Leadership motivational speaker Donald T. Phillips, who has previously drawn organizational lessons for modern businesses from the careers of Abraham Lincoln and the Founding Fathers, turns to civil-rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. as a role model. A discussion of the Montgomery bus boycott, for example, draws out such principles as “Set goals and create a plan of action” and “Involve the people.” More effective as a self-help book for business than as a biography, it does provide a useful introduction to King’s life.

Chess Not Checkers: Elevate Your Leadership Game

As organizations grow in volume and complexity, the demands on leadership change. The same old moves won’t cut it any more. In Chess Not Checkers, Mark Miller tells the story of Blake Brown, newly appointed CEO of a company troubled by poor performance and low morale. Nothing Blake learned from his previous roles seems to help him deal with the issues he now faces. The problem, his new mentor points out, is Blake is playing the wrong game.

The early days of an organization are like checkers: a quickly played game with mostly interchangeable pieces. Everybody, the leader included, does a little bit of everything; the pace is frenetic. But as the organization expands, you can’t just keep jumping from activity to activity. You have to think strategically, plan ahead, and leverage every employee’s specific talents—that’s chess. Leaders who continue to play checkers when the name of the game is chess lose.

On his journey, Blake learns four essential strategies from the game of chess that transform his leadership and his organization. The result: unprecedented performance!
