Summary: Bringing out the Best in Your Employees
Review: Dr. Daniels has identified a positive approach for gaining maximum performance from your employees. This book will stimulate managers to create innovative recognition and reward systems that are aligned with what employees want.This book is not just a fad, but based on the science of Behavior Analysis. The material presented in this book made me realize that often when I thought I was reinforcing behavior, I was actually doing just the opposite. - Tom Lowell, President of Mentix, LLC.

Summary: A practical guide for application of behavioral principles
Review: Dr. Daniels' writings are a practical guide to the application of behavioral principles in organizational settings. As such this book is second to none and a must read for those charged with the responsibility of managing performance. This approach has time and time again proven very effective, yielding dividends for those who have seriously attempted to understand and apply behavioral principles in the workplace. Although the book focuses primarily on applications in business, it also demonstrates relevance to peoples' personal life by describing how we should treat others to maximize performance and build good relationships. It is unfortunate that those who lack the understanding of behaviorism, naively describing it as associationism and a way to "treat-people-as-mechanical-objects," feel the need to cast value judgment on one of very few successful extrapolations of psychological principles to our everyday lives. It is fortunate, however, that such evaluations are erroneous, at best.

Summary: Excellent book on practical leadership and motivation
Review: I had the opportunity to listen to Aubrey Daniels speak at a leadership workshop. Couldn't wait to read the book and gain more insights in the "ABC's" of positive reinforcement. This isn't just another "flavor of the month".

Summary: Finally -- an intelligent, scientific, people book
Review: I think that Daniels has found the key. His "performance management" methodology is right on the mark. Anyone who wants to maximize performance of people, while building strong relationships, needs to read and study this book. It's very well written and easy to read, considering it's based on science. Even though it is a business management book, I've found that the principles apply to personal relationships as well.

Summary: Wow! It will change the way you manage your staff! Great!
Review: One of the very best, if not the best, books on motivating a group of people that I have ever read. I've just started implementing some of the stratagies and I'm already seeing positive results. The book is easy to read and understand.

Summary: Sensible, actionable approach to motivating others.
Review: Practical and useful for developing relationships, not just with those you manage but with all relationships including family. It points out what we all know works for US but what's not so easy to offer others: positive, immediate and certain reinforcement for behaviors we want to encourage.
