Inventive Incentives...without Cash with Gary Gamp, The Company Doctor #12

08/17/21 • 27 min

It’s time to get inventive with your incentives. The model of a carrot and stick is falling out of favour, because it’s based on one massive misconception - that we’re all motivated by the same thing: money.

Motivation is personal, so we need to start asking the right questions to discover every team member’s personal incentives rather than playing a guessing game. To help you take that first step, Gary Gamp has a secret question and 3 magic words that’ll unlock the key to mastering motivation.

Key takeaways from this episode:

Combine external and internal motivators
Discover what truly motivates people, don’t just guess
Help your team with their self-belief
