PEOPLE SUPPORT THE THINGS THAT THEY CREATE. CARROTS AND STICKS MIGHT WORK ON RATS AND MICE, BUT PEOPLE NEED PASSION, PURPOSE AND MOTIVATION TO THRIVE. TELLING PEOPLE WHAT TO DO, REMOVES RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR RESULTS IS LOST.
KEY TO INTRINSIC MOTIVATION IS AUTONOMY. WE ALL NEED TO HAVE A SAY IN THE WAY WE WORK; THE WAY WORK IS DESIGNED, PLANNED AND EXECUTED.
THIS INVOLVES ESTABLISHING CLEAR GOALS, BOUNDARIES AND CULTURAL NORMS, THEN TRUSTING AND EMPOWERING PEOPLE TO FILL IN THE GAPS.
ENGAGE PROJECTS AND PEOPLE WITH MORE AUTONOMY AND DECISION MAKING ABILITY
HOW+
A ONE SIZED FITS ALL APPROACH ONLY WORKS IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES. PEOPLE RESPOND BEST WHEN THEY CAN CHART THEIR OWN COURSE GUIDED BY A STRONG RELIABLE FRAMEWORK.
PROBUILD ARE REVIEWING THE QUANTUM OF REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED ON PROJECTS AND UNDERSTANDING WHERE WE CAN GIVE GREATER AUTONOMY, CONTROL AND DECISION MAKING ABILITY.
BY BEING CLEAR ABOUT THE INTENT, THE GOALS AND THE TOOLS AVAILABLE TO UTILISE, WE CAN TRUST THAT GREAT PEOPLE WILL DELIVER GREAT RESULTS. AND IF WE'RE NOT ALWAYS TELLING THEN WHAT TO DO, THEY'LL BE MORE INCLINED TO ASK QUESTIONS, SEEK CLARIFICATION AND ASK FOR HELP WHEN NEEDED. DECISIONS SHOULD BE MADE BY THOSE CLOSEST TO THE ISSUE, WITH THE MOST COMPLETE INFORMATION AND WITH THE MOST RELEVANT EXPERTISE.
