Are you highly motivated by the work you are doing? Are you are performing at your best? If you are a manger or leader, are your employees highly motivated and performing at their best?

Through Steve's book, you will learn concepts and techniques about SIMA® (the System for Motivated Abilities®) that will enable you to better tap into your motivated strengths and those of your employees to improve effectiveness, productivity, and work satisfaction; how to prevent those strengths from becoming weaknesses that can damage performance and productivity; and how to create a work environment that helps your organization and teams maximize their potential
