To summarize Harvard Professors Amabilie and Kramer: Employees are happiest, engaged and most productive when they are "simply making progress in meaningful work." The most motivating thing that managers can do (more than pay, promotions or material rewards) is supporting "workers’ accomplishments—by removing obstacles, providing help and acknowledging strong effort."
"Promoting workers’ well-being isn’t just ethical; it makes economic sense."

“What a pleasure it has been to know and work with David. Our first encounter was at the Twin Cities Chapter of ASTD when he presented on Emotional Intelligence. His presentation was very well received and rated one of the best. Since then, David joined the Marketing Committee for ASTD-TCC and ultimately stepped into the role of director. His enthusiasm, willingness to dive in and help as well as his creativity all have a positive impact. Most important is David’s ability to lead. He builds such strong relationships that everyone he works with wants to do an excellent job in support of his vision.”
