Book Description
The ability to cause someone to do something enthusiastically by offering internal or external rewards is known as motivating skills. In other words, it means impelling an action by providing an incentive or a reason for it. Motivating skills are sometimes confused with inspiring skills. However, their difference lies in the fact that unlike inspiring someone, motivating them requires persuasion through an appropriate reward system i.e. offering them a ‘carrot’ such as a raise in salary or promotion etc. Inspiring someone, on the other hand, leads to a desire being developed from within the person, without any persuasion required. Why are motivating skills important Ideally, when an organization is able to hire the right person (with the right skills) for the right job, optimum level of productivity is reached. This is because the employees get to do what they do best so they are enthusiastic about the completion of all those important tasks. However, reality is quite different. The duties at work tend to be very monotonous and tedious for employees despite pursuing the profession of their interest. Therefore, motivating such employees of an organization is very important. It can benefit the organization in the following ways: Improved performance. Once an organization has hired employees with the ‘ability’ to perform certain tasks, it is time to add ‘willingness’ to the equation to improve employees’ efficiency. Their education and training may have given them the ability but motivating them is what will help obtain willingness. Once the equation is complete, performance is bound to improve. Indifferent attitude of employees changed. Never having achieved anything for a good performance at work tends to make the employees indifferent towards any improvement required. Such attitude can be easily changed by making them realize the link between efforts and results/rewards. Reduced absenteeism and employee turnover. In the presence of an appropriate incentive plan, with monetary and non-monetary rewards as well as promotion opportunities, the employees will not only have greater willingness to improve efficiency but also a greater job satisfaction. How to improve your motivating skills Now that you have read and understood the importance of motivating skills, here is how you can improve them and bring about a great deal of change in the organization’s performance: Provide challenging as well as productive work. As a manager you must understand that no matter how self-motivated your employees are, or how amazing the rewards are, it will be difficult to motivate them if the job is designed badly and employees find it inherently unsatisfying. You must be able to provide interesting jobs with variety, challenge and autonomy to motivate people to be more efficient. Manage the goal setting process. It is important to have clear and attainable goals towards the achievement of which employees work. The goals being set shall be effective if they outline what exactly is to be accomplished and when will it be deemed as ‘achieved’. Moreover, setting organizational goals such that they are aligned with the personal goals of the employees can also help in motivating them more than ever. Understand the individual differences. If you seek to motivate them, you should be able to look at the employees on an individual level. This will help you to focus on their varying needs and wants, and offer incentives accordingly. For instance, you can offer more time off as an incentive to someone who seeks work-life balance, promotion to someone who seeks status and recognition in the organization, and salary raise to someone who seeks a monetary reward alone.

Book Description
The Bible teaches man the word of God. But Christianity's greatest error has been to interpret the word of God as being the Logos of God. Providing a fresh perspective, The Holy Bible Plus offers a thorough look at the Bible--its origins, its contents, its teachings, its substance, its testaments, and more. The Holy Bible Plus examines a host of topics surrounding the Bible, Christianity, spirituality, and what it means to be a follower of Christ. It seeks to provide an understanding of the WORD, faith, God, the plan, the kingdom, the soul, your duties as a Christian, and sexualities. The essays included in The Holy Bible Plus communicate that Christ revealed how to be creators of new life, not how to be holy. It teaches that obedience to the word is the holiness of Judaism, but discovery of the word is the power of creation.

Book Description
Forget the 10,000 hour rule— what if it’s possible to learn the basics of any new skill in 20 hours or less? Take a moment to consider how many things you want to learn to do. What’s on your list? What’s holding you back from getting started? Are you worried about the time and effort it takes to acquire new skills—time you don’t have and effort you can’t spare? Research suggests it takes 10,000 hours to develop a new skill. In this nonstop world when will you ever find that much time and energy? To make matters worse, the early hours of practicing something new are always the most frustrating. That’s why it’s difficult to learn how to speak a new language, play an instrument, hit a golf ball, or shoot great photos. It’s so much easier to watch TV or surf the web . . . In The First 20 Hours, Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach to rapid skill acquisition— how to learn any new skill as quickly as possible. His method shows you how to deconstruct complex skills, maximize productive practice, and remove common learning barriers. By completing just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice you’ll go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing noticeably well. Kaufman personally field-tested the methods in this book. You’ll have a front row seat as he develops a personal yoga practice, writes his own web-based computer programs, teaches himself to touch type on a nonstandard keyboard, explores the oldest and most complex board game in history, picks up the ukulele, and learns how to windsurf. Here are a few of the simple techniques he teaches: Define your target performance level: Figure out what your desired level of skill looks like, what you’re trying to achieve, and what you’ll be able to do when you’re done. The more specific, the better. Deconstruct the skill: Most of the things we think of as skills are actually bundles of smaller subskills. If you break down the subcomponents, it’s easier to figure out which ones are most important and practice those first. Eliminate barriers to practice: Removing common distractions and unnecessary effort makes it much easier to sit down and focus on deliberate practice. Create fast feedback loops: Getting accurate, real-time information about how well you’re performing during practice makes it much easier to improve. Whether you want to paint a portrait, launch a start-up, fly an airplane, or juggle flaming chainsaws, The First 20 Hours will help you pick up the basics of any skill in record time . . . and have more fun along the way.

The Harmonists find the answers to life’s eternal questions in their own spirituality and in their own bodies, which have undergone genetic changes on Venus, giving them paranormal abilities. With humanity’s future at stake, religion becomes a political business, and both groups will have to face their motivations and manipulations when a shocking discovery threatens the balance of power in the universe. “The absorbing story of an overpopulated and economically depressed world clinging to the outcome of a religious schism for its salvation.” —sff180
