The Three Drivers Of Motivation


Julian Birkinshaw shares the three drivers of discretionary effort (motivation) for employees in his book, Becoming a Better Boss:
  1. Material drivers, including salary, bonuses, promotion, and prizes
  2. Social drivers, including recognition for achievement, status, and having good colleagues
  3. Personal drivers, including freedom to act, the opportunity to build expertise, and working for a worthwhile cause
Take a moment now to reflect on where your business excels and where it falls short.
