Discovering Your Authentic Motivators at Work
Have you ever thought about what really motivates you at work—and what motivates others?
A little bit of self-discovery might be the key to reengaging a
workforce that wants a more fulfilling employee experience in the new
year, says Courtney Harrison, a master facilitator of The Ken Blanchard
Companies’ new Essential Motivators™ learning journey.
“It begins with knowing yourself—knowing what motivates you and being
able to honor your values,” says Harrison. “The next step is to
understand others and what motivates them.”
People might be out of practice with identifying motivators, says
Harrison. “The demands of the past three years have put an emphasis on
results. And while people have recognized the need for increased meaning
and purpose in their work, solutions have been harder to identify.”
Harrison believes part of the answer is to dig down beneath the
surface of your goals, deadlines, and incentives and discover what truly
motivates you.
