A short YouTube video by Jacqueline Elliott offering leadership advice: employees are often motivated by feeling significant rather than money; praise and explicit recognition increase productivity; active supervision (even what may feel like micromanagement) prevents staff from "sliding" and yields better results than leaving them unattended.
Chapters
You find the most production when you feel significant. This is a true story. Man, this is so crazy. You can see with our team, they don't work for money. They work to feel significant. They work to make a difference. There's a group of people, and they work through praise because they want to feel important. So you get the most production after giving, hey, you did a great job. And as leaders, sometimes you have to understand that you still have to supervise people, whether you feel like you have to micromanage them or not, because you're going to get more production out of people. You say that they're doing a good job, you're going to get more, more production at those people you're criticizing or telling them that they're doing a bad job than those people that you're leaving alone and not doing anything with. So if you're just letting your people just do their thing and say, hey, I don't have to micromanage them. They just kind of do their thing little by little, whether they have the perfect heart, whether they, you know, you. You believe that they can handle their own stuff, you quit paying attention, they're just gonna slide. Bad, good, nothing. Don't do nothing. Everybody needs something in order to move.
