Today, we will talk about a common frustration among my clients which is this idea of why I am working so hard. It's this idea that as a leader, you feel like you need to do everything in your power to control the results of what your organization is producing. However, there are more efficient ways to go about it. So I like to call that process command and control. It's this idea that I'm responsible for getting this to the organization, whatever it might be. It might be cutting costs, producing revenue, improving employee engagement, and improving customer satisfaction. It could be any of those categories. And in that process, you decide, okay, I own a quarter of this deliverable. Some of my peers own some of it too, and so I know what we need to do; here's my vision for what it's going to look like, how we're going to do it, and then you dictate to your people how we're going to accomplish this goal. Well, what do you think that does to your staff It doesn't motivate them because nobody likes to be told what to do. All kinds of research show that our brains shut down; the creative part of us shuts down when we are forced to do something we're told to do. And we are not naturally motivated to embellish, amplify, or add to it; we're in compliance mode, and compliance mode, unless we're internally motivated, is temporary.
