• Introduce Lou Tice  p. ii
• Validation of IIE: extensive research base, endorsements by people like
• Gary Latham and Martin Seligman, etc.  p. v
• Note that IIE is essentially an EDUCATIONAL intervention not      MOTIVATIONAL though the educational material will undoubtedly be  motivational anyway.

• Take time to draw attention to the 6 “golden threads” which are summarised at the end of the page. p. vi
• Review Contents Page p. vii
• Explain the Elements p. viii
