motivation, Susan Fowler, Video, Webinar, Why Motivating People Doesn't WorkRegardless of your responsibilities, you will inevitably face an individual or a team who appear unmotivated. Trying to motivate them is frustrating for everyone involved and it just doesn't work.
Susan Fowler—top leadership researcher, consultant, coach, and author of Why Motivating People Doesn’t Work…and What Does—says that you can't actually motivate people: they are already motivated, but generally in superficial and short-term ways. Traditional carrot-and-stick techniques may result in temporary gains, but once the bribe or the threat is gone, people’s commitment flags. And these kinds of techniques make people focus more on the reward or the punishment rather than on their jobs.
On this 2-year anniversary of Susan's book, listen in as she builds upon the latest scientific research on the nature of human motivation, and lays out a tested model and course of action to help leaders increase productivity and engagement, as well as purpose and fulfillment. You will learn the top 5 motivation issues people face, and discover how to guide your people toward increased productivity, deeper engagement, and a profound sense of purpose.
