When you think about what motivates someone within their job or work it tends to go back to what their connection is to the purpose behind their work.

“…it’s hard to imagine a motivating purpose that doesn’t impact another person. I think we are wired to care about other people.”

Richard Lawrence and Peter Green examine the theories of motivation and the core motivators they’ve found in their work with clients.

Update, October 2020: The Humanizing Work Show is now available at www.humanizingwork.com.

    Team formation of SCRUM teams can be disappointing sometimes.
    Bruce Tuckman described 4 phases of team formation: Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing. We cannot expect a new SCRUM team to perform as well as it has just been put together. It takes more to get a team to perform well. What do you suggest?
