Short excerpt from a YouTube video conversation (featuring Mike Andes and others) about building a team. Speakers emphasize that, while some say work is not always about money, the practical reality expressed repeatedly is that team members come for paychecks and financial incentives (bonuses) strongly motivate them.
Building a team. Not always about money, because not everybody is working for money.
They're coming here for money. Let's all break this down and be very, very simple about the fact that we want to make this business profitable and they are coming for a paycheck. How do we know this? If we didn't pay their paycheck this night, they'd be gone.
Everybody wants to make more money, right?
I would say number one is going to be money. When you give a crew a bonus or something, they're very, very happy for that.
That's the bottom line. I tell you right now, I love Jody. He's a great man, but I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the paycheck.
