Key takeaways
- Motivation is personal: what drives one person (problem solving, visible progress, happiness) will not drive another.
- Quarterly OKRs give a team alignment and a concrete target to push toward, and dialing a goal up mid-quarter can itself motivate.
- Public recognition and a sincere compliment can matter more than a bonus.
- Give experienced people freedom to pursue their own ideas and make it safe to fail.
- Leaders should take ownership when things go wrong and keep sharing the mission so people know why they work.
