Motivation in the Workplace: How to Help Lackluster Teams Feel Excited Again

Leaderhood & Parentship

#54 - How do you motivate your team? Do you lead with rewards and punishment, or use something unique based on people’s individual needs? If you’re unsure how to do the latter, this episode is for you. We kick off this episode with a discussion around AI and emotional intelligence, then we dive right into our main topic; motivation. Shane shares the definition, the 2 types of motivation, different ways leaders can motivate their teams, and strategies to motivate yourself. Then, we flip it to the home and discuss motivation with kids, teens, partners, and spouses.
