Motivation in the Workplace: Knowing Your People

Abstract

When I teach motivation and leadership I often discuss the importance of knowing your staff—not only as workers, but as people. It is so important for all of us to understand that everyone is motivated by different things, and it is the successful leader who is able to identify these drivers that guide each one of us. This concept and tool is important whether we are a manager trying to encourage our employee to work, an employee attempting to work with a peer on a project, or even an employee trying to “get” his or her man¬ager to follow their lead!
