Plug the Tub
Testimonials
“Plug the tub is a treasure trove of practical wisdom for business owners, leaders, managers - indeed anyone whose job is to ensure that employees remain motivated and productive. The informal, unaffected presentational style belies a solid understanding of the psychological underpinnings of both motivation and de-motivation in the workplace. Drawing on Fred’s own consulting experience for relevant examples, they identify a number of key sources of de-motivation, and in a refreshingly positive fashion offer constructive, realistic and proactive strategies for addressing them. In an era where short- and long-term disability claims as a result of workplace stress and depression are at an all-time high, and where the costs of failing to retain a productive, motivated workforce are soaring, Plug the tub is much-needed preventative medicine for any organization”.
