Summary
Matt Tenney is a consultant and speaker/teacher for numerous Fortune 500 companies in the areas of leadership development, engagement, performance, and retention. Since 2012, he has published several books including the present volume, which has made the USA Today and Publisher’s Weekly bestseller lists.
The book argues that leadership tends to be thought of as an art, not a science, and stimulates the reader to consider the benefits of having an algorithm for it—a repeatable process based on decades of research on what motivates employees—that any leader can follow to consistently inspire greatness in others.
Inspire Greatness offers a four-step process that can enable leaders to bring out the best in team members and improve performance by:
- Taking responsibility for employee engagement and acting from the premise that leaders’ primary job is to inspire greatness in team members.
- Identifying what team members need to thrive and do great work.
- Collecting regular feedback on how well direct supervisors are meeting 14 universal needs people have for being engaged at work.
Pairing feedback for leaders with bite-size learning that is easy to consume and act on immediately.
