Green Beans and Ice Cream? At first glance, they don’t sound like they go together. But this groundbreaking new book from author Bill Sims, Jr. will change forever the way you deal with your family, customers, coworkers, students, and yes, even your spouse! In Bill’s thirty year history, he has helped design more than one thousand behavior change systems that have produced tremendous gains in performance and profits at America’s top companies including Disney, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, General Motors, and Dupont. Hidden in this book you will find Bill’s “secret sauce”, and the recipe for rapid, sustainable behavior change and engagement--Positive Reinforcement (PR+) The book explains why positive reinforcement is one of the most powerful forces on the planet. Use it wisely, and performance moves off the chart. Use it poorly, and the results can be disastrous. Green Beans & Ice Cream analyzes over 100 years of research in the field of human behavioral science, and compares it to “real world, in the trenches” true stories that Sims recounts. It points out clearly that the thing we need the most, is the thing we often receive the least—positive reinforcement and feedback from those around us. Using the techniques outlined in this book, you can master the remarkable power of positive reinforcement, and make a real difference in the world around you. This book is for everyone who must lead others. Whether in the family, the school, or the workplace, it is a “must read” for anyone who wants to improve the performance of their team. With this first book, Sims has dropped a stone in the still pond of leadership. The waves will only get bigger.

    Great and simple read! I am a big fan of books that are to the point and minus the fluff. If you are anything like me you will like it! I was able to finish this book within a few hours and took so much away from it! I really enjoyed the book and have put a lot of it to use already. I have recommended it to co-workers and family members and all that have read it enjoyed it too! If it at all sparks your interest I recommend the purchase!

    The book serves as a good reminder that there is more good than negative work performed. As managers we allow ourselves to get caught in the fraction error. My biggest take away was the four to one factor. Before you call out a negative find at least four and sincere positives.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 1, 2013

    Clever and short, like Napoleon and lots of "ah-ha" moments in a non-Alan Partridge way. Positive reinforcement (R+) is a no-brainer as a motivator, but it is not easy to sustain in the face of apathy and opposition. This little book will help. Ideas, examples, case studies all give you a good reason to keep going...and when you do, it works! PS Take a tip from the author and use it outside work too on an "acts of random kindness" premise.
