Book Synopsis

This is a new and extensively revised edition of a classic business book that has sold over 100,000 copies. The good news it brings is that organizing work as though it were a game-making it interesting for employees by providing scorekeeping, feedback, goal setting, coaching, choice, and so on-will lead to increases in productivity and much better morale in the workplace. Among the companies that have benefited from the author's "game of work" approach are Pepsi Cola, The Chicago Tribune, Browning Ferris Industries, Wendy's, Quaker Oats, and Ralston-Purina.
