Why Pride Matters More Than Money

The book that turns our understanding of motivation on its head . . . and shows why most companies get it wrong. There are few people with more experience and accumulated wisdom about the inner workings of business and how people can work together more effectively than Jon Katzenbach. His groundbreaking research has resulted in several important books, including The Wisdom of Teams and Real Change Leaders. Over the past several years he has turned his attention to one of the perennial questions of leaders everywhere: How do I motivate my employees? Most everyone frets about how to devise schemes that will keep the troops revved up. Conventional wisdom--or at least the practice at most companies--often centers on money as the primary motivating force. Many also rely on intimidation, which like money generally has a short-term impact.

First sentence: Pride is the emotional high that follows performance and success.
