Today's team building tip #59 encourages you and the team to pause and consider "What is each one of us on the team motivated by?" . Chances are, each one of you is motivated by something different.
Going back to classic studies, there are differences in external motivators (things outside of us such as social recognition, praise, awards, money) vs. our internal motivators and drives (a feeling of satisfaction or achievement).
For those that are interested in exploring this topic further recent books such as Daniel Pink's DRIVE, are great reads. Here's a link to his summary of concepts in the book. One of the central themes is that we are driven by autonomy, mastery and purpose.
Today take some time to think about your motivation. What gets you up and out of bed every day? What get's your fire going? What fuels you?
Enjoy the conversation,
