This week, Lucinda is joined by special guest, Jo Owen, the author of 'Smart Work: The Ultimate Handbook for Remote and Hybrid Teams', to talk about this fantastic new resource, as well as why the concept of managers needs to change, and how we can better motivate people through a new way of viewing leadership.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
We expect managers to motivate their teams, but this is a flawed concept. You cannot tell people to be happy and motivated. These things come from within.
Change is more effective when it is embedded in rhythms and routines. It is about constant analysis of what is taking effect, and incrementally changing patterns based upon the effects we are observing.
If we change the nature of the discourse around motivation, to how we can create, systemically, the conditions of motivation, then we are much better placed to find success.
Everything is harder when performed remotely, but this is actually good news. Managers are being forced to re-examine procedures and systems and actively improve them.

BEST MOMENTS

'If you can re-engage teachers, you're going to succeed'

'Instead of telling managers to be motivational, all you can do is put in place the conditions where the team will rediscover their intrinsic motivation'

'You've linked both mastery and growth with very supportive relationships'

'The first person to discover how to motivate via email will make a fortune!'
