What Motivates Your People? Revisiting a critical truth
Episode #232 // Motivation can be pretty tricky. Trying to work out what you can do to help your people reach a state of motivation and stay there for a little while is more complicated than it sounds.
Should you try to make them happy? Should you pay them more? Should you lavish them with praise and positive feedback?
The truth about what motivates people might surprise you. Interestingly, the path to motivation isn’t an easy one, and it’s not a path that many people will tread of their own accord.
But there are some things you can do that are relatively simple, which have a high success rate. It’s just that, like all the best leadership stuff, it’s not easy, and it forces you to face the spectre of not being liked. That’s enough to turn many leaders off the concept altogether!
In this episode, I look at the changing world of work, and how the challenge of motivating your people may have changed. I also give you my '5 Tips for Motivating Your People', which is available as a free downloadable at www.yourceomentor.com/episode232.
