Featuring ~ Motivating Geeks: How to Motivate Technical Staff with Breaking the Bank!
by Paul Glen, The United States

Motivating Geeks is Different from Motivating Other Employees

When budgets are tight, it is more important than ever to get the best performance from the people who deliver, support and deploy technology. But over the past decade, managers have fallen into the trap of believing that motivation requires ever larger bags of money. In fact, the most effective ways to motivate geeks do not cost that much. Getting the best from your people requires clearly understanding what really motivates them.
