Pygmalion Effect - a Manager's Introspection

Every individual must know what makes them work hard to achieve their goals. It is not just money that makes people feel motivated, there are various other intrinsic and extrinsic factors that must be considered when we have to motivate others and ourselves. Various aspects of motivation and different approaches to team motivation are explained in this book. Most managers do not realize the importance and need for motivation, but always expect the best from their team. The application of the Pygmalion Effect is never in practice, which would otherwise enhance the performance of an individual by simply putting faith and confidence on a team member. This book illustrates how this theory can be applied within organizations to achieve better results at the individual and team levels, eventually meeting organizational goals.
