Identifying what motivates your staff to perform and do better at work is a key management responsibility. Identifying motivational affordances is part of this as is an appreciation of human behaviour in the work place. Your staff as individuals are likely to have a range of motivational needs (some shared, some unique) that if met in full or in part – may encourage them to succeed in the workplace.
Excellently explained. Helped alot in preparing my session for my staff.
Motivation is what you learned from people who influenced you. Most are motivated by money and power, only a few are motivated by selfless service, pride, and professionalism. Read more in "Fail-Safe 101 Actionable Insights on Failures in Leadership and Management." It's pack full of terrific lessons learned and effective options.
Pay a livable wage. If you don't, do not expect anymore from anyone. I do my job and that is it. Never go above and beyond. You wont get anymore out of it.
it's very good
How to go about people that lie to you?
They telling me I need to be able to talk to people that will make do what I need them to do.
I get that Sheen is a pos but just dropping Lohan's name because she had substance abuse issues is a bit much. I know its only an example but choose a fictional character or something
My biggest takeaway: “Our brains will never be fully realized unless we are part of a healthy group.”
This is powerful and resonates with me. Thank you 🥰
What I learn from this is probably that some HR people tend to have a bias before hiring. I would say that in some years after exponential develop of AI in general, we would input "hard skills" and "soft skills" needed in the job description, so we can use AI as reviewer for removing this kind of decisions driven by emotions.
She was great but gave no solutions that are plausible
One thing that stood out to me is when she said; “The hiring decision is made in the first 3-5 min of an interview. “
The admission of this is powerful; and yet I cannot help but think this adds to the issue of diversity and inclusion within certain industries. Also important to think about motivation factors for people who do not match the culture of a company and know how to communicate to them. Anyways good talk !
Great title
After being forced to participate in an experimental medical procedure to keep my job i am now very motivated to be counterproductive at work and disengaged forever.
Motivation is not the key to success. The actual key to success is discipline
This is very profound to me. And it makes a lot of sense. Thank you for this.
I would to be the doctor of poor 💜💜
Harassment, and narcissistic abuse in the workplace is absolutely not ok.
You can engage your workforce by eliminating narcissistic, sadistic whackos that go around harassing everyone.
Motivation is not applicable it comes and goes.
Motivation is nothing if you don’t pay your workers enough money. Companies are giving raise like 2-3% while the inflation is 6-7%. No wonder why there is a great resignation and quiet quitting
People work because they get paid, take away the pay, and nobody shows up… lmao you went to college for this?
The doctor what neq talk 2022 not before 20111

In my experience, having many high performers in a team that are heathy keep the low performers in check and can lift some up who are receptive. Conversely, having mostly low performers that are toxic drag the high performers down no matter how stable and productive they are. Chaos is the goal of toxic people.
Completely agree on the Lean projects vs people projects side. I grew up with a lean mindset, and now I have almost completely abandoned it in favor of placing energy in people. I have generated better results in working with people, rather than trying to hit that big ROI number on a project.
Resume is what they can do, not what they will do.
