We hear a lot about what motivates and inspires a team but do we really know what we’re doing that demotivates them? Today’s guest is Julie Bartkus, a leading authority on workplace transformation. She’s embarked on a 20 year long, hands-on research, interviewing employees at all levels in organizations, to identify over 30 staff demotivators that drain team members and reduce employee engagement. Julie shares her first experience of becoming a manager and how she dealt with her first challenge. She shares a key demotivator that requires us to look at our own behaviors as leaders, not always having to prove ourselves and being willing to ask for help. We ended on connecting to a strong why, a strong sense of vision, and finding your joy… Take notes, sit tight and gain great tools to reduce demotivation and increase connection.
