How to motivate your team for better performance
Motivating, rather than managing, performance is the key to unlocking the best in people, teams and organisations.
We’re more intrinsically motivated and perform better when we feel we have autonomy, mastery and purpose.
Daniel Pink, 2009
A simple shift will support that change where people want to talk about their performance – and own it. A robust performance motivation strategy will help every organisation on a journey to improved performance. Things to consider include respect, clarity, strengths, praise, growth and empowerment.
