Listen "Motivation - Episode 27"
Episode Synopsis
Everyone's tired. Everyone's over it. Life is hard, and no one cares. Amidst this backdrop of existentialist crisis, how do you keep your team - and yourself - motivated? In this episode of As Built, we discuss what does - and doesn't - work for architecture and building materials firms trying to keep everyone going even when you don't feel like it. Highlights Everyone is motivated by different things, so universal solutions don't work for everyone Don't focus on the task, focus on the big-picture reason you do this work If you can, avoid people and projects that drain you Consider radical shifts in workloads and expectations, like the 85% effort model Episode Resources "To Build a Top Performing Team, Ask for 85% Effort," Harvard Business Review Connect with Brian and Patience Jones https://graphicmachine.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/graphicmachine/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-jones-graphicmachine/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/patiencejones/
