Everyone’s tired. Everyone’s over it. Life is hard, and no one cares. Amidst this backdrop of existentialist crisis, how do you keep your team – and yourself – motivated?
In this episode of As Built, we discuss what does – and doesn’t – work for architecture and building materials firms trying to keep everyone going even when you don’t feel like it.
Highlights
- Everyone is motivated by different things, so universal solutions don’t work for everyone
- Don’t focus on the task, focus on the big-picture reason you do this work
- If you can, avoid people and projects that drain you
- Consider radical shifts in workloads and expectations, like the 85% effort model
