Leadership Tip #101: Employee motivation is up to the employee. A leaders job is not to motivate an employee - not only is that exhausting and unsustainable but it can often backfire with short-term gain and long-term damage. Instead, leaders need to create an environment that provides their employees with a sense of belonging, purpose, progress, authenticity, and autonomy. When the conditions are right, employees are internally motivated; they flourish; performance and productivity improve; knowledge, that otherwise wouldnt be, is leveraged and shared; creativity goes through the roof; and organizational loyalty increases. So... what can you start doing today to help create a sense a belonging, purpose, progress, authenticity, and autonomy in your teams? And... equally important, what do you need to keep doing and what do you need to stop doing? Heres to bringing out the best in ourselves and the people we serve
