The effective leaders of tomorrow will be those who understand their motivators, who regularly measure their motivators, sustain and replenish and maximise their motivators, and who do the same for their employees.

Mapping Motivation for Engagement advocates a new paradigm for the twenty-first century: away from hierarchies and command-and-control management styles, towards a bottom-up approach in which the needs and motivators of the employees take centre stage.

This book is a practical guide to understanding how personal and career development is underpinned by motivation, and how coaching and mapping are perfectly complementary activities.

James Sale tackles the question of what motivation is, why we need it and what happens when we don’t have it.

Exploring the mythical triumphs and tribulations of the workplace, how to stay motivated on the quest of life, and how to overcome the monsters and obstacles that way-lay us.

“I have been writing poems for over 45 years and if anything could, death has deepened my sense of vocation around the magic and the healing power of words…”

“A deep vision of truths we all want to deny, but as Sale shows, it is only by facing them that we find hope…”

More well known as a management consultant than as a poet, James has consistently followed the Muse and developed his poetry from tuning in to her voice.
