What drives us, your team, family or staff?
I recommend you do some research on “Your Why” Simon Sinek has a book called “Find Your Why” The evolution of our why – survival, freedom, status, purpose
Simon Sinek has plenty of interviews on youtube, here is one that explains his message
The Four Areas That Drive People – and 21 reasons why people are so driven
The idea in this post is we can use this to find what drives us, our team members, staff, family or friends and build a list of what drives everyone. Once we have a list we can start working around everyone’s needs.
You can start by choosing 4 of the top things that motivate you, maybe 1-2 from each area, or you ask your staff and you can use the information to motivate everyone.

1. Next promotion
2. Completing a task
