About this episode
This is a question that seems to be answered by many with desperate incentives and what amounts to just brute force to get their staff to do the things they want them to do in the way they want them to do it. In many ways, it's a favorite past time of owners to just complain about it but how many are taking the time to truly dig deeper and diagnose the cause of the perceived or actual lack of motivation? On today's episode we will be exploring a few very important ways that will give you a better chance to either motivate your staff, or diagnose ways that you or leaders may have squandered the motivation that was there but never respected and grown.
