Book summary

Updated and expanded (with five new chapters) to meet today's challenges to the nation's productivity and morale, this book examines the "entitlement" mentality in the American workforce and the preoccupation with rewards rather than responsibilities. The author describes three different mindsets and how each affects individuals and their organizations: Entitlement--people feel entitled to rewards and lethargic about having to earn them; motivation and job-satisfaction are low; Fear--people are paralyzed by the threat of layoffs so they focus on job protection rather than efficiency; and Earning--people are energized by challenge and know that their accomplishments will be noticed and rewarded.
