MOTIVATION: The
ULTIMATE GUIDE
TO LEADING YOUR TEAM

A really practical and insightful book which brings a new ideas on how to lead and motivate others, but also how to keep yourself motivated to achieve your goals.

I can’t think of a better or more practical team motivation book than this one. I will be changing some of my approaches as a result.

I hesitated to buy this book since I’m not a manager. I don’t lead a team so I wasn’t sure this book would be useful for me. However, I loved Catherine’s first book How to Get on with Anyone, so I thought I’d give her new book a try. And I’m glad I did because there is plenty of good information for individuals as well!

SUCH a useful and well-written book: motivating people effectively - and honestly - is the most foundational way to get more out of them, and Catherine sets out simple but powerful strategies here for doing it well (without killing yourself in the process). Highly recommended.

The ambiguity around the future of the work place and the shift to virtual working have put pressures on leaders like never before…..it is vital for leaders to motivate their teams and the wider organisation.  This book provides an excellent, simple to use tool kit for helping you to deliver results together with others.

This book brings together content and real examples with the opportunity to pause and reflect about personal behaviour, choices, and aspirations.  Each chapter encourages the reader’s brain to slow down and learn thoughtfully, which much needed in this current world of limited attention, fast responses and rapid problem-solving.

A fascinating and practical book that explores two big questions every manager and leader needs to answer. How do I get the best out of myself and how do I get the best from others? Curious to find out more?  Then dive straight into this highly engaging read.

With this book you can explore your leadership style in a practical and relatable way, and gain a new perspective on how to motivate your team and others.

Most leaders know that they are supposed to be ‘different’ from the old command and control, but they don’t always know how. This book provides the guidance they need – it’s an essential read for people managers at all levels.

Nearly every Team Leader finds that motivating and inspiring their people is a challenge and a learning journey. This easily accessible guide will help them with a range of tools and ideas from which they are sure to get invaluable help along that journey. Every new leader should receive this as a welcome present!

This book has lots of techniques to help develop both skills and insight and provides a very practical guide with real life examples that people will benefit from.

This guidebook will show you exactly how to inspire and engage even the most challenging members of your team to find more fulfilment and enjoyment in their work and perform at their best! 

Grounded in rigorous psychological research, Catherine has created a fantastic resource for the 21st century leader.

This book is a great resource for the leader in all of us. It reveals essential motivators that feed our psychological needs and provides practical ways to stretch beyond our own motivators to powerfully lead ourselves and others.

Catherine’s book is a simple, clear guide to understanding your leadership style by accepting that there are different temperaments in human personality, any one of which can mean success as a leader and where motivation will vary. The interactive ‘exercises’ are an engaging way of encouraging readers to work out the practical applications that will work for them.

Too often the talk about motivation is very general, missing what constitutes meaningful work for each individual. This book gives great insight into individuals’ core needs, values, and talents and therefore what is likely to motivate them. It’s a valuable resource for managers, coaches, consultants, and leaders to use both in relation to themselves and others.

Catherine has successfully integrated multiple complementary motivation frameworks which results in a comprehensive and powerful resource for leader-managers. Her insights on how to leverage the four motivation patterns are among the best I have seen. Every reader will discover motivational take-aways they can use themselves – and leave with clear techniques they can use with their teams.

This useful and timely coaching handbook is underpinned by Catherine’s extensive experience of coaching leaders and managers. I recommend this book as a handy guide to anyone needing to motivate individuals and teams, whether leaders and managers or coaches and educators.
