One of the most common questions I get asked by leaders is “How do I motivate my direct reports?” Have you ever asked or though this question? If so, you are definitively not alone!!

Motivation is often elusive, hard to describe, and hard to understand. However, there is a clear easy way to understand not only what motivate us as human beings, but also, how to understand the motivation of others and be able to successfully motivate them.

It all starts with what we do as leaders to create a culture conducive to motivating individuals. When this is done successfully, we can then leverage what uniquely motivates each individual to get them to be at their best. How you may ask? That is indeed the question!

Join me as I break down how to create a culture of motivation, lay out what motivates us as human beings, and how we (as leaders) can best extrinsically motivate our direct reports. If you’ve ever felt baffled by motivation or have struggled to motivate others, this is a must listen episode!
