Matt Britton argues for promoting junior talent to signal belief in them and inspiring intrinsic motivation rather than using fear. Employees who feel trusted will stay late and go the extra mile because they don't want to let leaders down.

I don't look at somebody's lack of seniority or experience in as any form in terms of should I put them in a position to be able to win? And I think if you do that, if you promote people with reckless abandon, that talent versus hiring from the outside, you signal to everybody that you believe in them. And to me, it's about lighting a fire in them as opposed to lighting a fire under them. You know, lighting a fire under them is making them feel like they're scared that they're going to lose their job. Lighting a fire in them means that they will walk through fire for you and they believe in you and they're going to stay till 11 o' clock because they don't want to let you down. Once you've actually accomplished that, you've created a great culture.
