It addresses one of the most challenging workplace issues facing employers today – the ability to encourage employees’ creativity, productivity, and long-term commitment to an organization. Studies consistently show that low employee morale and high turnover rates are common in early childhood programs and, in turn, affect the quality of services provided for children and families. Unfortunately, strategies used by many supervisors to guide and manage employee behavior often contribute to employee dissatisfaction and attrition. A sound understanding of motivational theory and skills (e.g., communication, leadership, team-building, decision-making) enables effective leaders to create positive work environments, boost employee morale, and encourage positive performance. When employees believe their efforts are being acknowledged and valued, they are less likely to leave their jobs – an additional and important benefit, especially in the field of early childhood education. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection I EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 The Field of Early Childhood EducatioChapter 2 The Early Childhood Education Workforce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3 The Role of Motivation in Organizations \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Motivational and Inspirational Leadership\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5 The Art of Effective Communication \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSECTION II MAKING IT ALL WORK \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Building a Successful Team\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Acknowledging Efforts, Contributions, and Accomplishments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8 Emerging Trends and Leadership Challenges: Looking Ahead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendices\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlossary\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041165377879,"sku":"9781538137901","price":51.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781538137901.jpg?v=1750949196","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/early-childhood-leadership-motivation-inspiration-empowerment-9781538137901","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
