1. Be more visible
- Now is not the time to go missing
2. Be more transparent
- i.e. the complete opposite to what most leaders do in changing times
3. Be more communicative (a lot more)
- If you’re not communicating, then the rumour mill will go into overdrive
I’ve just started reading Dan Pink’s new book “Drive -- The Surprising Truth About Motivates Us”. Pink is one of my favourite authors on the workplace and so, as expected, the book is an excellent read.
The clear message in ‘Drive’ is something which most of us have always known intuitively -- that money does not motivate people in the work place in the long term. But us Pink explains in the book (and in the video clip below) there is now a raft of scientific research that backs up what we’ve already known.
So why do so many employers and business leaders get obsessed with trying to motivate people via the old fashioned carrot and stick approach hey…?
