The game changer : how to use the science of motivation with the power of game design to shift behaviour, shape culture, and make clever happen

Use the science of motivation with the power of game design to unlock motivation and drive progress in your organisation. There are two conventional ways to approach motivation: set goals and try to change attitudes and beliefs (which takes a lot of personalised effort); or develop incentives and rewards to inspire effort (which takes a lot of money). This book shows you how to take a third new approach – designing the work itself to be inherently motivating. Combining the best elements of three distinct fields—motivational science, game design, and agile management—this book shows you how to positively influence behaviour through better work and project design. This game changing book: - Gives you a refreshing science-based approach to the classic challenge of motivation in the workplace - Is ideal for any leader or manager looking to take their workplace culture in a new direction - Includes practical advice for creating highly productive, motivated and innovative teams - Is written by a motivation strategy and design expert who consults on leadership and change management to a wide range of clients – from the executives of multinational organisations, through to the directors of switched-on startups. __The Game Changer__will show you how to unlock creative, productive and collaborative work. It is the perfect resource for forward-thinking leaders in organisations and teams focused on crafting a work culture that gets the best out of their people.

The old-school approach to managing motivation would have you: work on attitudes and beliefs (but this takes effort); develop incentives and rewards (but this costs you). This book gives you a third option: change the game. If you're leading teams through change and you want to bring about the right motivational dynamics to influence behaviour, drive progress and shape culture ... this is the book for you. A revolutionary approach to motivation and progress at work, The Game Changer fuses elements from the disciplines of motivation science, game design and agile management and shows you how to: craft a culture that nurtures collaboration, innovation and epic of productivity; shift the motivational dynamics that influence the behaviour and performance of any team; replace the old leadership model with one of collaboration and personal initiative; unlock progress and make great things happen, again and again. -- Publisher's description
