POPULARITY
What happens when the bins aren't collected, the roads are full of holes and the libraries are shut - because the council's gone bankrupt? That's the dilemma facing local government. Europe's largest local authority, Birmingham, has just issued a notice saying it's effectively gone bust. Many others have done the same or are about to. So what has gone wrong with the system? Is the way we pay for local services in dire need of reform? Professor Peter Murphy, Director of the Public Policy and Management Research Group at Nottingham Trent University, tells Phil and Roger how bad things are and what needs to change Hosted on Acast.

To take us on a global carnivore tour, today we are sitting down with Miha Krofel, PhD, Head of Wildlife Ecology and Management Research Group at the University of Ljubljana, and a member of the IUCN's Cat Specialist Group, Canid Specialist Group, and Large Carnivore Initiative for Europe. Miha and I discuss Eurasian lynx, brown bears, and Golden jackals in Slovenia. We then hop across the globe and chat about lions, cheetahs, and leopards in Namibia. Following, we take another oceanic leap and learn about snow leopards and Pallas' cats in Mongolia. We wrap the conversation with a nice pretty bow and talk about carnivore coexistence on a higher scale, and explore the ups and downs of Miha's career. If you enjoy hardcore science conversations that you can walk away from, then you won't want to miss a moment of this episode.

Can you motivate? Yes or no? Do you consider this part of your role as a manager?Question 2: Why don't employees perform? Many times I hear….lack of training, tools, knowledge, lack of engagement, , unclear goals, personal issues, lack direction, no feedback …..and…they don't care, they lack purpose, they're lazy. Ugh. But if you can motivate them, and that's your job. What's the disconnect? Why would there be people who are unmotivated if we can motivate them?The reality is that people are already motivated. They may not, however, be motivated to what you want them to do. Your job is to create an environment in which others are motivated to perform at their best. Bring out their motivation, their energy.How? What are all the ways you can motivate? And do you know the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivators?Extrinsic motivators are from outside of you, intrinsic motivators are from within you. One is about what I receive after I complete a task, which may be expected or unexpected. The other is about the experience while I'm completing the task. Which is more common? = ExtrinsicMore sustainable? = IntrinsicMore difficult to execute? IntrinsicWhile we can't change who people are, what we can do is help them to discover their intrinsic motivators. And also connect or align intrinsic motivators with things that maybe we enjoy less.Here are 4 ways to begin to understand intrinsic motivation:Take a strengths assessment: See, Discover Your Strengths, by Don Clifton (from Gallup)Explore a work based personality assessments: DiSC assessments have a version for managers, individual contributors and leaders which have a behavioral focus and are excellent tools about our energy (and what drains us!)Consider the Individual Dimensions Inventory: this is an assessment tool from Management Research Group, and focuses on the emotional satisfaction we get from work related dimensions (I am also certified on this tool and can also get you more information if you are interested)Take a values inventory: learn your core beliefs; are they aligned with what you are doing? The Values Institute on Character offers a freebie: The VIA Survey: 31 Ways to Recognize Your Strengths and Act on Them (positivepsychology.com)Planting some leadership seeds:Understand various types of motivators; get to know your employees and their preferences for both extrinsic and intrinsic motivators.Use extrinsic strategically: be thoughtful, reinforce specifics, point out what you want more of from others around you.Do a wellness check up on you: choose one of the 4 ways to identify motivators, discover something new about yourself—where are you aligned in being intrinsically motivated, where are you not in alignment?Take action, one small step to strengthen the motivational environment for you, for your team.Learn about goal setting AND the link to motivation....AND strengthen your leadership! https://www.intentionaleaderscourses.com/confident-leader
