Ever give someone a raise, or get one, and find that that person or you still aren’t motivated?
This is Part 1 of a 5 part mini-series on Motivational Theories to help understand why that happens and how to prevent it from happening.
We’re exploring the psychology behind human performance and the science behind what makes people tick because understanding that is the key to crafting an environment that fuels focus, enthusiasm, productivity and as importantly, life satisfaction.
In this episode we’re diving into one of the better known motivational theories, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
We explain what it is, dispel a widespread belief about it, give you a short summary of research exploring if it works, and then give you some tips on how to use it successfully in your life, team and/or company.
