Why you should read Rewarding Teams
When you want to encourage a project team, you have to do more than cheer, "Go, Team, Go!" Authors Glenn Parker, Jerry McAdams and David Zielinski show you how. They provide examples of how today’s top companies use the three most important reward systems for teams - recognition plans, project team incentives and organizational unit incentives. They include 27 detailed case studies to show how these companies designed and implemented their systems. They consider difficult issues that affect the reward process, such as how to deal with under-performing team members. At times the writing seems academic, though the text, charts and summary lists are generally clear. getAbstract suggests this book for anyone who is in charge of employee rewards and compensation. The book may seem a little dry, but its message is juicy: Just the right combination of perks, pay and programming can mean lots more to a team than just cheers.
