While not a ferocious reader of business/self-help books, I do read those that come especially highly recommended. Dale Dauten, one of the finest business writers around, thought this the best audiobook of the year. Good enough for me.
While I cannot compare it to as many as he can, it is indeed one of the most useful books I’ve listened to. Broken into 100 short snippets, each idea opens with a good quote, explores and examines, and then tidies up nicely. I am not a salesperson, not a manager, and not a person readily identified as a member of the target audience. But this book had plenty of good things in it.

Steve Chandler has written another gem with 100 Ways to Motivate Others: How Great Leaders Can Produce Insane Results Without Driving People Crazy. Filled with practical solutions to everyday scenarios this book has inspired me to be a better manager and pursue my Masters Degree in Management. Chandler doesn’t mince words – he tells it like it is and every manager will find a bit of themselves in the scenarios and stories. He gets it right by telling you up front that reading the book won’t change your work life, but choosing to act on the ideas will. I was able to pick up ideas that I could use the next day in my work. It’s so good I purchased the audio version for my boss!

“Motivating” others is really just the spark that you can find in having someone else find a reason to do something.
I may not have agreed with the totality of the book, but it is one of the books I retained. If it is a required book for you, it is not all that bad, but I would not buy it unless it was required.
For what that is worth.

Whenever I see a book that uses a list format, I usually avoid it at all costs. While “10 Methods”, “25 Steps”, or in this case “100 Ways” are emotionally satisfying numbers and titles; the larger lists are often padded with variations on a central idea. Even worse is when you sense that some clear omissions have been made.

The advice inside this book is presented extremely well. I didn’t get the “I’ve heard this all before” feeling, and the tone is optimistic but realistic. Sometimes I’ll read from it in the evening when I know I’m going to have a long day tomorrow. I even pulled it up on my iPod and read from it during a terribly depressing meeting once, and it helped me regroup and come at the issue from a different angle. Many thanks to the author.
