Motivation - Episode 27
Manage episode 407427300 series 3560056
Everyone’s tired. Everyone’s over it. Life is hard, and no one cares. Amidst this backdrop of existentialist crisis, how do you keep your team - and yourself - motivated?
In this episode of As Built, we discuss what does - and doesn’t - work for architecture and building materials firms trying to keep everyone going even when you don’t feel like it.
Highlights
- Everyone is motivated by different things, so universal solutions don’t work for everyone
- Don’t focus on the task, focus on the big-picture reason you do this work
- If you can, avoid people and projects that drain you
- Consider radical shifts in workloads and expectations, like the 85% effort model
