About Motivation
Everyone is motivated, just not always by what you care about. Do you know what motivates your team members? More importantly, what makes them feel appreciated?
Experiment
A little experiment with Dobby. Sometimes you hear people say, "Yes, with food it's easy, then I can make my dog listens too." Is that actually the case?
With Dobby we did the test. If we let Dobby choose between eating food, fetching a ball, and fetching a dummy from the water. Which do you think he chooses and why? Watch the video to see the result.
Now you think, this is a dog, easier to experiment with a dog than with employees! How much time have you spent genuinely investigating what drives your team members? What would it bring you if you would know the answer?
