370 - How to Inspire Your Team to Perform at Their Best

Your job as a leader or manager is to provide your people with the opportunity and resources they need to succeed. In today’s Silver Dollar episode, we discuss how you can provide those opportunities and resources—and do it in a way that is also motivational! The keys are to provide the right task (we explain the two types of tasks), to the right person (it helps to know if they are intrinsically or extrinsically motivated), with the right type of reward (the wrong reward can work against you). You’ll get some real-world examples of how to apply what we’ve discovered to the workplace. Follow their lead, and you’ll reap the benefits of having more productive and happier team members.
