The things that genuinely motivate people to work ten or a hundred times harder toward a common goal are human, emotional, meaningful, purposeful, empathetic.
You can achieve minor gains with the mechanical, numeric, authoritative, concrete, inhuman; and it can feel like progress. But doing those same things but harder turns into #demotivation.
Genuinely #motivating people is not just more and better of the same; it's an entirely different kind of #management.
“If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.”
– Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
