Revved!: An Incredible Way to Rev Up Your Workplace and Achieve Amazing Results

By Harry Paul and Ross Reck

Imagine a new kind of business model: one where caring for people is your capital investment and the returns redefine your bottom line.

REVVED! is the story of Katie Adams, an up-and-coming manager who's struggling to rekindle the enthusiasm and support of her team at work. When she's passed over for a long-awaited promotion, the message from her boss is clear: turn things around or get out.

But how? How do you inspire people to work harder, reach higher, and achieve more? How do you get them to support you and go above and beyond in everything they do? How do you get them to care?

You show that you care about them.

From the coauthor of FISH!, the bestselling book that put fun and passion back into the workplace, comes REVVED!-an incredible three-step program that helps you to maximize the returns that come from caring about your most important asset: your people.

Jump-start your passion and put yourself and your team on the road to real results:

• WIN THEM OVER: Release that reservoir of positive energy in people by listening to them and voicing your appreciation. When people know you care, they're excited about going the extra mile.
• BLOW THEM AWAY: Take that excitement to the next level by creatively recognizing and rewarding your people. They'll feel so good about going that extra mile, they'll look for every opportunity to do it again.
• KEEP THEM REVVED: Sustain that level of excitement indefinitely by consistently and sincerely maintaining positive, honest relationships with everyone you encounter.

Once you put this program into practice, you'll learn two very important lessons about caring: how huge the returns can be and how quickly your life can change for the better. So get ready, get REVVED!, and put your team on the road to high-speed success.

MORE ENERGY! MORE PASSION! MORE RESULTS!
