"Murphy finds that most workplaces are brimming with untapped talent. Only it's suppressed by goal-setting that discourages big ideas and leaders who focus on happiness rather than greatness."
Training Magazine

We’ve all heard the saying that a happy

employee is a motivated employee. But

what if that’s not true?

Leadership IQ CEO Mark Murphy says the

“happy employee” philosophy doesn’t work.

A study of more than 500,000 leaders and employees

shows that despite the billions of dollars

organizations spend to satisfy and engage

workers, 72% of employees admit they’re still

not giving their best effort at work. Rather,

it’s leaders who focus on making their people

great—not happy—who inspire Hundred

Percenter performance.

If you talk to the employees behind today’s

great innovations, you’re unlikely to hear, “I

was inspired by a boss who coddles me.” Instead

you’d probably hear, “My boss challenges

me and pushes me past my limits.” Most

workplaces are brimming with untapped talent—

only it’s suppressed by leaders who fail

to connect with and challenge employees to

unleash their true potential.

Here are just a few of the big ideas in Hundred

Percenters:

• The harder the goals you set, the
  

  better your employees will perform

  
  


• You should never use a Compliment
  

  Sandwich to deliver feedback

  
  


• Talented Terrors—people with great
  

  skills and a bad attitude—can destroy

  
  

  your company culture

  
  


• Before you can start motivating
  

  Hundred Percenters, you have to

  
  

  stop demotivating them

  
  


• You should never ask your employees
  

  if they’re “satisfied”

  
  

This groundbreaking book debunks management

fads that don’t apply to today’s workplace

and provides the facts, theories, and direction

you need to become a 100% Leader.

Apply Murphy’s leadership lessons and you’ll

see innovation, productivity, and profits soar,

while employee turnover rates plummet.

Hundred Percenters will bring out the best in

your workforce.
