Intrinsic Motivation - the power of passion & how money can destroy it

In this episode, we deep dive into the idea of intrinsic motivation, how you can make or break it. The way we look at productivity seems to be blurred by an approach that puts output generated above value created. If we are honest with ourselves, then often what we call productivity is limited to the amount of work done within a certain time frame. A reflection on whether this work was valuable or not is often missing. We still tend to tie employees to a pre-defined work schedule, to micro-manage them on projects due to missing trust, to work in stiff and ego-driven hierarchies. Yet, there might be better ways to increase our productivity: by offering the opportunity to match your own competencies and interests with ownership and autonomy and the right degree of challenge. In this episode, we want to elaborate on how such opportunities can be created and share our experiences and learnings. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
