Summary: A must-have for managers and HR folks
Comment: I'm an HR person myself, and have found this (and the 1001 ways to reward) to be an essential part of my library. Many people want to look through it, borrow it... some have kept it, so this is probably my fifth version of the book that I've bought! Try to put your name all over the book so they don't forget it's yours.

Summary: A few useful tidbits
Comment: I like this little book for highlighting out-of-the-box ideas for improving the enthusiasm, and therefore the productivity of employees. Each energizing idea is described succinctly in a short paragraph. The ideas consist of short stories of some strategy or new approach a particular company implemented, and what the rewards and benefits were. About three of these vignettes fit on a page; about 212 pages minus the index, table of contents, and some other overhead, makes for quite a few suggestions. 1001 of them I guess. Some of the ideas are pretty original, such as having the boss call everybody's mother when a tough project is completed on time. Some suggestions are old news, like having a team-building event in which participants must depend upon each other in order to achieve some goal, like scaling a wall. I say "yawn" to that idea, but I liked the one about the mothers. I bet my mom would fall over if my boss ever called her.

The book is sprinkled with quotes, bullet lists, principles and ideas that you are welcome to take or leave. I must say, I have heard a lot of this before, but there are one or two useful tidbits.

I recommend this book for people who want invigorate their organization. Throw away the clichés and you will find some good solid original ideas in "1001 Ways to energize Employees." Even if you only find one useful idea amongst the 1001, and it helps your company or your employees, "1001 Ways to energize Employees" will be worth your investment. Anyway, it's cheap.

Summary: A fast how-to book on energizing teams... lacks depth
Comment: If you are looking to truly turn around your company or department, this is not the book for you. When does this book come in handy? If you are seeking for quick ideas to energize your team, and are short on inspiration: that is where it's a very comprehensive source. But be realistic: true energizing and change is a process that can't be bought with treats or gifts, but rather built through trust and open communication, among other things. If you want to really energize your team, then be ready for a longterm commitment from your part, that will go beyond just getting them perks or giving them awards.
