You can't motivate people, but you can create the conditions where motivation thrives. In this episode, Jeremy Doran shares a simple but powerful story about an employee whose 3pm slump wasn't a performance problem — it was a scheduling mismatch. Once Jeremy understood what she actually wanted, they built a plan that worked for everyone.

If you manage people, this one reframes how you think about motivation, alignment, and getting the best out of your team.

Understanding the goals of others in your workplace is fundamental to effective leadership. Each division within a company, be it sales, engineering, or service, often has different objectives. For example, a manufacturing company may have teams with distinct targets based on their roles. Recognizing these differences allows for smoother interactions and collaboration.

When you grasp not just the "what" but the "why" behind someone else's goals, you open doors to more productive conversations. Often, when you ask a colleague for help, their initial response might be a reluctant "no." However, by inquiring about the reasons behind their goals, you may find that their hesitations stem from valid concerns such as time constraints or priorities. Understanding these nuances can lead to more effective solutions tailored to their needs.

What you'll learn:

• Why carrots and sticks don't work — and what does
• How to uncover what your employees actually want
• How to align individual goals with organizational goals for real, lasting productivity
