How to successfully and completely DE-MOTIVATE your employees as a manager

Everyone is talking about motivating your employees. Yet most of us know that motivation comes from within. Rather, let’s talk about how managers can stop DEMOTIVATING their people. Practical categories of de-motivators will help you realize what we do that de-motivates our people and…stop doing it! Then the motivation will come from team members themselves.

This presentation includes:

• Categories, examples and stories to help us understand how we de-motivate our team members
• Tools and techniques from most effective and successful managers: what do they do and most importantly – what they try not to do!
• Suggestions for involving and engaging your team: how to discuss with them what motivates and de-motivates them
