166 The Unlock Moment Box of Keys #28: How to Spot the People Driven by Something Deeper
from The Unlock Moment: find your purpose for leadership and life · host Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD
How do you tell the difference between someone who’s a solid performer and someone who’s driven by something deeper ... by purpose, mission, and impact? In this Box of Keys episode, I reflect on a conversation with a senior leader who believed everyone in his organisation was motivated by money and promotion. But when you look more closely, the exceptional ones often signal something else entirely. This is a conversation about learning to read those signals. Because when someone asks for more money, they’re telling you something. And when someone asks how they can help create more impact, they’re telling you something too. The question is ... are you listening? If you want to understand how to identify and support your purpose-driven people, this one’s for you.
