Motivation makes progress possible…leaders must build that excitement and fire among their employees.
Three non-cash motivators (Source: McKinsey) include:
- Praise from immediate manager,
- Leadership attention (i.e. one on one conversation), and
- Project/task leadership to “provide answers” for company’s future.
Basically, all three make people feel valued. So why don’t more managers/companies do these three?
In addition to this, Accenture completed a global study identifying that workers seek (in order): Work-Life Balance (with technology enabling this flexibility), Money, Recognition, and Autonomy, Advancement, Making a Difference, Title and Status.
