How to apply motivational science and game theory to unlock employee effort and make great things happen There are three primary ways to motivate employees: you can change people's attitudes and beliefs through your power of persuasion, but it takes a lot of effort; you can offer monetary incentives, but that takes a lot of money; or you can design the work itself to be inherently motivating and rewarding, which takes lots of management savvy. Game Changer shows you how to get the most out of your people using option number three. Combining the best elements of three distinct fields--motivational science, game design, and agile management--this book shows you how to shift the motivational dynamics at work in your business, leading to sustained innovation and long-term positive results. * Offers a much-needed science-based approach to the issue of motivation in the workplace * Ideal for the changing nature of today's fast-paced work environments * Includes practical everyday advice for creating a highly productive and motivated workforce * Written by a motivation design expert and award-winning educator who has worked with a wide range of diverse multinational organisations An ideal resource for leaders of organisations and teams focused on creative, collaborative work, Game Changer shows you how to build a work culture that gets the best out of your people.

Author Bio:
Dr Jason Fox is a global authority on motivation strategy and design, and he’s on an epic quest to liberate the world from poorly designed work.

After sneaking into the Ivory Towers of academia and levelling up with a PhD in record time, Jason now works with forward-thinking business leaders, showing them how to use the best elements of motivation science and game design to influence behaviour, drive progress and make clever happen.

He has advised on motivation strategy, change management and good gamification design to a range of organisations — from multinational companies like PepsiCo, Gartner and Toyota; to the big banks, universities, mining, telecommunication and pharmaceutical companies; right through to grassroots educational organisations and savvy startups.

Jason lives in Melbourne, Australia, the hipster capital of beards and good coffee. When not gallivanting around the world speaking at events (as the science-based alternative to the fist-pumping rah-rah motivational corporate speakers) or immersed in game-changing work with clients, Jason enjoys partaking in extreme sports like reading, coffee snobbery and fruit ninja.
