If you’ve got more than you in your organization, you’ve got to deal with a team and get them motivated to do what you need done.
I’ve believed for a long time that you really can’t motivate people. They’re all self-motivated.
They just might not be motivated to do what you need them to do.
In this week’s episode of The Unstoppable CEO™ Podcast, I sit down with Robert Michon to discover his unique approach to aligning the roles you need with the natural motivations of your people.
Robert shares the tools he uses to assess motivation, and how you can use them to align your team.
Oh, and Robert shares his “Thought Tracking” technique for clearing out disruptive negative thinking so you can get focused on the great work you’re doing.
This little tip (at 10:13 into the interview) will help you get and stay at the top of your mental game.
