ADS Blog: Motivation: Part 1: What is motivation?

Elton · 1 year ago

Giving subordinates clear expectations is effective in managing people and or motivating people. This approach is probably based on the expectancy theory from the last part of your post.

I want to share with you the Young Entrepreneur Society from the www.YoungEntrepreneurSociety.com. It motivated me to become successful.

While it may be a matter of semantics, I don't like the term "subordinates." At ADS we strive to have a flat organization. Chris, our Lead Developer, is more a leader than a manager. Our teams manage themselves and Chris leads them, along with our clients, through our process. While I am still the head of the organization, I include our team in many decisions that will effect them. I believe this method can work for larger organizations as well.
